Tourists don't care about rain...

It's going to rain ...and my mammy has not called yet....quite strange....
I don't know, but it's very common for sicilian mammies to be worried about rain...
It's true, in Sicily we usually have less than 50 rainy days per year, BUT, this year things are changing. WE already have the rain we usually have for an whole winter...and my mammy's calls have increased..
why? It's 16 years since I started to work as a tourist guide....and it's 16 years since my mammy calls me and asks me: "Lucia have you to work..with all this rain??" - " Si mom, of course, tourists don't care about rain and they have already paid travel agent in advance..bla bla bla.."- " Sure, at least..copriti!!!!"
That's always the dialouge on the phone early morning when it's raining.......
Strange??? maybe not....here rain  almost seems stops daily routine......maybe beacuse we are not so used to it and we don't do anything to be..

.....it has not rained.....the weather forecast I watched early this mkorning were wrong..so mom has not called me , at least, not to tell me "copriti!!"...

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

Now it's better! Here I am! It's 6 weeks now since I fell, having troubles with the legaments of my right knee! Ahi che dolor! No work,no walk .......... Now it's better.....but slowly slowly....... Buona giornata!
