A Month in Bella Italia

[Flutterby]

A friend found them here last week!

A bit early for peaches but I suppose that in a country with so many differences weather wise, you can find almost everything around the year

[Flutterby]

I'm sure they were imported.

SA imports fruit It must be a bit expensive

[Flutterby]

I think we export all our top quality fruit and then import other fruit!!

Crazy

I would like to get the SA mangos instead of the ones from South America. We get grapes, pears and other things from SA, when it is out of season here.

On our last day in Santa Elisabetta we went to the market in Favara, an agricultural town near Agrigento.

On our way back to the village it started to pour with rain...we actually had a lot of rain in Sicily, which was quite unusual for the time of year.

There are so many stray animals in Sicily. SO's aunt feeds these kitties everyday.

Food looks fresh and healthy!

And a pool with a view!

[Lisbeth]

Those kitties do not look like stray ones

Goat cheese is delicious and healthy

Maybe that village looks better (or rather less bad) with rain

Market looks nice though
