magic mirrors

Honestly, this is one of my favorite photos. My friends and I were wandering around Palermo and happened to turn down a shaded street which had mirrors for sale.

Getting the chance to get just this one photo would have made the trip worthwhile. (My needs are simple. Sometimes.)

Citrus season is really a delightful time to visit Sicily. We had plenty of citrusy things and not a single one of us came down with scurvy.
