Food, Wine, and Travel from Sicily
We decided to get away for a long weekend and head to northern Sicily to Cefalu (pronounced: Chef – a- lu). We have wanted to go here ever since we got to Sicily because of all the great things that we have heard. Its a smaller town that is nestled in between a huge rock formation and the Tyrrhenian Sea. There is more info about Continue reading “Cefalu”
This will be the second time that we went to Enna, although last time we didn’t make it. Last time our trip got intercepted by the call of the factory outlet mall along the way. It takes about 1 hour to get to Enna from our place. Enna is in the smack dab middle of Sicily and has even gotten the nickname of “ombelico” of Sicily, which means Continue reading “Enna”
After our friends wedding in Kennebunkport we had a couple days to spare before we went back home to Sicily. We decided to head down to Boston since our flight would be leaving from there and Jess has never been. I have been to Boston over a dozen times because I had a pretty regular schedule of work trips to Boston a few years back. I love Boston. A lot of historical things to see, big food and Continue reading “Boston”
Back to the States! We were looking forward to this trip for over a year now. Our good friends Matt and Laura got married in Kennebunkport and it was an amazing time and place. Congrats to the bride and groom!
This is the first time that we’ve been to Maine and it reminded me a lot of Northern Michigan. Huge difference in the scenery that we have been accustomed to the last couple months in the Mediterranean. We loved the small town feel of Kennebunkport.
Onto the Food! and of course what comes to Continue reading “Kennebunkport”
I thought it would be funny to show the differences between IKEA here in Sicily and back home in the States. There is a new IKEA in nearby Catania that is the only IKEA in Sicily. The store is pretty much the same as back home, but the cafe Continue reading “IKEA Catania”
We took a trip that included the town of Taormina and a nearby winery, Gambino Winery. We have heard nothing but good things about Taormina from several people so we were looking forward to seeing it ourselves. Taormina is about 20 minutes north of Continue reading “Taormina and Gambino Winery”
There were about 5 different trips that we took all together looking for places and I wanted to condense them down to one post. We had a good time looking at places and there were definitely some highlights and some lowlights. The cultural differences definitely came into play with Continue reading “Sicilian House Hunters International Sicily”
Sorry for the delay on the posts… we have been moving into our place in the economy. An experience.. to say the least. Happy to say we are getting settled in and we are getting spoiled by our new place.
Anyways back on schedule here with the posts (unfortunately that means waayy back to July 6th). I dont know if Im ever going to be able to be caught up to Continue reading “Catania”
We continued our house hunters international this weekend with a trip to Trecastagni. Trecastagni is located in the foothills of Mount Etna and has a great reputation. There is one place in particular that we are going to look at just outside of town.
Our real estate guy got lost Continue reading “Trecastagni”
