Welcome to Sensational Sicily!
Before the Really Playing for Pizza Experience, I could tell you literally nothing about SICILY. That is in no disrespect to the place that is now one of my favorites in the world, it is simply that few people in North America talk about it or have actually made the effort to travel to the island. However, after spending 6 months living on Sicily, I can tell you that the island is spicy, sassy, and most of all, sensationally beautiful.
When summarizing our experience in Europe, one can basically divide our travels into 3 distinct circles:
1. SICILY
2. ITALY
3. EUROPE
Therefore, I've devoted the next three blog posts to my favorite pictures from each of those three areas, beginning with our home near "The Boot."
If anyone out there knows someone from the Sicilian Department of Tourism, I would like to get some commission, because I don't know how anyone could not want to visit after looking at these pictures. Enjoy!
