Walking down from the Salita di Santo Spirito in Agrigento my clients asked to this nice old lady to make a picture.. Her name is Teresa and then she talked to us :   Teresa:: 'ri unni siti? ?  (where are you from?) tourists: we're from Australia!! Teresa: Mih!  luntanu jè!!    (so  far away!!)

Cous cous dolce Sweet cous cous is made also with marzapane its a secret of the Nuns at S.Spirito in Agrigento. a few days more and I'll taste it again!

Last week the delicious almond and pistachoes buiscuits made by the loveliest nuns at Santo Spirito Convent  in Agrigento, helped me and my collegues to face the tiring but exciting preparatory tour  we did for our Exploring Sicily tour next April!! don't miss the Santo Spirito's nuns specialities  especially for the following Easter time!

 This is in Agrigento now! Agrigento's view from the magic Valley of its Temples In Sicily almonds trees are blooming now! So why to change date for the traditional  Almond blossom Festival? Sure! I forgot no money, no sponsors but  Nature doesnt' wait
