A day out with the girls…


This week, while shopping for vegetables, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Justina and Rosaria. Both of them happen to be from Australia, so it was an absolute pleasure to speak in English! Rosaria is passing through for the moment, as she is off onto another travel destination next week. Justina and her husband happen to be neighbors of ours, living just a few houses up the road from us. We got together this morning for coffee, conversation, and a stroll in the sunshine at the Linguaglossa street market. While there, we were introduced to Annalisa, a friend of Justina who lives in Linguaglossa and studies languages in Catania. There we were, all four speaking in English, while every person that passed turned his or her head to hear this strange language being spoken…
I look forward to many more get-togethers…

We'll see you soon Rosaria!

Ciao Jilli!

Come va. Your blog looks fantastic! I have forwarded your address to my family and friends in Australia and they were all very impressed. I think you have truely captured the essence of Sicilian living - romantic in every sense of the word.

I look forward to sharing many more interesting adventures with you here in Sicilia.

ci vidiamo!
