    Such a great & colorful photo of prickly pears! And Lucia, when you tell tourists "we eat them," please also add that YOU SHOULD NOT JUST BIT INTO THEM! (Foreigners have been known to do this, ouch). I myself did not bite into one, but the first time I purchased them, I attempted to peel them and got the spines in my fingers, and they ached for days...

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes)  as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
