curb snack
It was mid-afternoon on the first day of three days of celebrating Sant’Agata, the town’s patron. Thousands of people were out, following the procession as a way of marking their devotion. But sometime during the day, they were going to need a snack, just like this little head-to-toe pink little girl.
Bonus fact: you know those plants that are called “broom”? And see that broom there in the background? Guess what it’s made from. Yep: broom plants.

market bread
When I imagine fresh bread, it always looks like this – with golden lighting on the loaves.
And now if you will excuse me, I need to go find a bakery…

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.
