to move toward the light
You may recall the breathless excitement that I brought back from my trip to Sicily early last fall.
I am still breathless when I think about it, so this starts a week of photos from that trip.
This is the most typical of typical Sicilian street scenes: narrow streets paved with worn-until-they-are-shiny stones, close-set buildings that block out a lot of sun (until they don’t), graffiti on the walls, laundry (often) hanging from balconies. And on and on.
(I guess the only thing in this photo that’s not typical is that the street doesn’t have pedestrians/cars/motorbikes sharing the space.)

piñata (fireball and advil)
There was a piñata for the little kids, a piñata for the teenagers, and a piñata for the grownups. Ours had Fireball, Tito’s Vodka, and Advil.

uneven usage
It makes me happy to know that more people scrape their bumpers up against that one marked space on the right than they do the other one.

like a swim-up bar, only with quesadillas
Those kids from yesterday’s photo moved on to having poolside quesadillas. Later, a soggy half-eaten quesadilla was plucked off the pool deck and thrown away. No one ever even missed it. As far as we know.
