Sometimes We Sicilian think to be the best people in the world.. We are told to be very hospitable, polite and friendly  It's all true, of course but we often forget that everybody can be and ,of course, it's not a question of nationality. Today I met a dear virtual friend, met months ago here blogging. I was attracted by her blog first for her beautiful photoes and the way she tells us Her Sicily through her pictures: the point of view of a foreigner living in Sicily! great! I always try to look at Sicily through my tourists'eyes and  I 'm very curious , still  learning  from them about Us ,Sicily and Sicilian . Today,my ex - virtual  friend invited me for lunch: she opened her green doorway with an overwhelming smile and I immediately  felt at home, although we were absolutely unknow each other till then! She opened her house to me as if I were an old friend  of hers Nothing strange....this is excatly what I'd have done in her shoes..bu...

Non cambio facilmente profumo..o meglio, quando ne individuo uno che fa per me, non cambio per un pò..... ma adesso, oltre LIGHT BLUE che adoro, posso scegliere il nuovo di Dolce & Gabbana, THE ONE -ROSE......... ottima fragranza....delicata, dolce.... da ieri posso scegliere, sentendomi addosso il profumo che  fa per me.. Grazie....;-) --------------- I hardly change my parfume, or better to say, when I find the one good for me I use it for a while.... but now, besides LIGHT BLUE which I adore, I can choose the new by Dolce & Gabbana, THE ONE - ROSE.... a wonderful flavour, sweet & delicate.. since yesterday........I can choose, I can smell  the suitable parfume  to me on me! Thank you...;-)

cooking & painting

This morning I supposed to work with my PC...but no connection at all...so, I changed programme... I turned my breakfast table into a painting table......and started .....short breaks to prepare a vegeterian lunch... It's not a caponata (where everything is fried), it's not a peperonata as I put eggplants and zucchini as well.... It's simply my  " colourful  vegeterian lunch"..not bad.. .but la caponata è la caponata! !!!

Modica: model for one night!

What do you do in winter???

looking at the winter coming One of the commonest questions done by our tourists, especially, when the tourist season is almost at the end ,lke now is : " What do you do in winter??" I understand ,it's quite curious to have such a long time in front of you with no work..or at least not everyday. Well..it's not strange and, after a long tiring season with (if the season is good..) no days off, no weekends ....no free time for your things..a guide really needs some relaxing time. So the first thing I like to say is: "I want to relax..and find time for myself..." but winter is also time to share together with collegues conferences, meetings, studying..and have some holydays ,too. It's time for reading in peace, attending courses or going around and see what is new for the next season (like new hotels or restaurants or shops..wathever a tourist needs..). As far as me.. I really need to find more time for my friends I recently couldn't give it ...
