 There's a place in Sicily, in Scicli, I fell in love with the first time I met Russino family and his great company GLI AROMI As a sicilian, as a tourist guide, as a tourist myself,.each time I go there  it's an explosion of flavours,aroma,colours and above all of emotions.... I confess: Botanic & agronomy is my "tallone di Achille".....and each time I work especially with English people I start trembling.........but I like gardens, plants, flowers so much ........and now I'm learning and learning more ....   What I enjoyed is the professionality, the knowledge, the politeness  and the passion and love you can breathe there......and Enrico is terrific!

A proposito di accoglienza.....about a warm welcome Hygge in danese  Accogliente in Italiano Warm , cosy in Inglese

in the Sahara - south Tunisia anche questo è un modo di fare buona  accoglienza! trovare una toilette al posto giusto nel momento giusto! Ahimè, dalle nostre parti, spesso non è ancora così......e così a volte mi tocca rispondere con un altra domanda del tipo.. " può resistere per altri dieci minuti?" ------------- This is also a way to welcome tourists! to find a toilette at the right place in the right moment! But , in Sicily  , sometimes it's still not possible! So, I if I'm asked "Where's the toilette" I have to answer with a another question like : "Can you wait/resist other ten minutes more? "

ph. by Nadia Sardone Sometimes, blogging ......reading here and there , on social networks like Fb, your thoughts match others' way of thinking and it's beautiful to share the same point of view , notwithstanding distances. Feelings, emotions, ideas have no boundaries and no distances can divide people who speak the "same language" I adore the picture I posted taken by the architect Nadia Sardone (she is actually working in the area of Venice) because  I  could immediately  "see" through her eyes what  she felt...observing her new temporarily  world from that red bench!.  Here what Nadia wrote commenting her picture: "Campo S Alvise- La prima volta che arrivai in questo Campo mi ritrovai subito stupita da ciò che si stava manifestando ai miei sensi ed alla mia vista... e seduta su queste panchine ho chiuso per un attimo gli occhi e ascoltato ciò che accadeva intorno. Siamo così abituati al rumore della città... al traffico veicolare.....
