I’m not sure Stan is, but I am enamored with this place.
When I wake in the morning, the sky is huge. It is blue and bordered by mountains and the sea. Farmlands of grapes, olives, and stone houses set off the landscape. I cannot help myself from saying, “Oh, how I like this place!” Late at night, we go to our upstairs terrace to witness a stage full of twinkling stars.
At first, our eyes can only see the largest stars, then, moment by moment, lesser but no less important ones come into view. They are always there. Just know that. They are always there. Our human eyes must adjust to finally be able to appreciate the show. They make a glittering curtain of white on a black sky.
Stan and I are challenged here with the hilly, stone walks. But we walk them. We are challenged with finding direct ways to nearby towns, like Trapani, Scopello, and Alcamo Marina. Still, we are energized, enthused, and excited to find our way.
Maybe it is the air. Maybe it’s the food. Maybe it is our beautiful villa that we call home for the month. Maybe it’s the night sky. Maybe it’s the friendly, welcoming people. Maybe it’s the wine.
We are happy here.
Where are you? It looks like somewhere on a coastline. It is beautiful and the food looks delicious! Take care! Ann
Hello dear Ann,
We are in Sicily near Castellammare del Golfo which is about an hour outside of Palermo. It is a stuningly beautiful place and the food is molto buono!
Looks beautiful. Where?
Hi Pam,
We are in Sicily and loving it. You can see that on some of my previous stories. We have been here since Sept.25. How are you, girl???? I posted a photo on Instagram especially for you. Did you see it? It was a roadsign for a village we were entering. It’s name was Crocci. I know, one letter off but it made us think of YOU! Still loving you!
It’s a place I would love to go!
Love you too, my life friend!
