  • Join Us For Fun In The Sun And In The Kitchen This September in Sicily

    We’re doing research today for our boat excursion (with Escursioni Team Shark Lanzafame) for September’s Stirring Sicily food and wine tour! Here’s an account of the beautiful coastline of Capo Zafferano. Meanwhile, I have to say the snorkeling at Le Formiche, an undersea mountain range that is a coral reef of sorts, was magnificent! I…

  • A View To Be Thankful

Each time, I can only be thankful, because it’s his hard work from years ago that makes it possible for me to have…

  • Sicily: Wonder of the Mediterranean by the BBC
