The Baker and the Cheese Maker
We spent a glorious day in Sant’Angelo Muxaro today with our host Val di Kam! What is in Sant’Angelo? you ask? The answer: Local people who want to share a few moments with you.

The Breezy Sea
Today we felt the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces as we glided on a boat on the Tyrrhenian Sea along the coast of the Lo Zingaro (The Gypsy) nature preserve. It was cooler than usual for this time of year, but that didn’t stop us from swimming in the coves…

It’s Gelato Time
In New York it is about 4:30pm. If you were in Sicily at 4:30pm, you’d be heading to the gelateria because it’s after your afternoon nap and far enough from dinner that a cone or a brioche con gelato hits the spot. What flavor(s) do you want?
