A Calm Evening at Piazza Duomo

As I sit on a bench in Piazza Duomo, I look around the town square, taking in the local people, shops and enjoying the beautiful weather. I choose to observe Piazza Duomo at 5:30 on a Monday, to get further insight into the culture and daily life here in Sicily. As I am increasingly interested…

Off to the Farmers’ Market!

After class on Saturday morning, a few of us decided to go to the Farmers’ Market. Since the Farmers’ Market is only open on Saturday, we wanted to take advantage of our open afternoon, and see if there were any fresh options for lunch. About eight of us set off towards the Farmers’ Market. The…
