oranges and two brooms
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.

fish market
Surprisingly, this is not the way anyone buys fish in west Texas – all our fish was definitely not swimming in the sea only a few hours prior to purchase.
This way looks a lot more like fish I’d want to eat.

lemon gelato
This woman and I crossed paths that day, each of us taking in the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova di Monreale. After that, she sat in the sun and had a lemon gelato, while a couple of little girls played.
Truly, this simple scene means as much to me as the magnificence of the cathedral.

work is never done
It’s a life I cannot imagine – taking fishing boats out all night, coming home at dawn to sell the catch, then spending the day making repairs to nets, equipment, or the boats, then repeating it day after day.
My life has been very sheltered.
