The same fruit? No! this 'fruit' is made from marsepain (seen everywhere in Sicilia) or sweet cakes, the Arabian influence on Sicilia make them love all kinds of sweets very very much! Weer fruit? Nee! Dit 'fruit' is van marsepein, overal te zien, ook veel cakesoorten. De Arabische invloeden maken dat de Sicilianen gek zijn op allerlei zoetigheden.
Don' t forget the different kinds of Pasta!!!
Vergeet de vele soorten Pasta niet!!!

It's clear that you visited the place with your blogger eyes! I love Italy, but have not yet made Sicily!! How much I still have to travel!
Great photos JoAnn I particularly like the lace umbrellas. :)
Look at all that color! Oh those fresh veggies, what a treat! And the foods and beverages and the art. Beautiful Italy, gorgeous Sicily... It must've been hard to say "until next time."
Hugs.

Hi Joann, nice to have you back again. I love your SIcilian photos, they remind me of some holidays there 2 years ago. Thanks for that.

Wonderful overview of the sights of Sicily. I feel like I have been there with you. Looking forward to seeing more.
HI JoAnn! Missed you but glad you had a nice vacation. I'm enjoying the pictures. Everything looks so colorful there. I will not ever see these things except through your eyes so thank you!
About Cumberland Island. It's off the east coast of Georgia. This is the island where John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bisset got married but we didn't get to see that part as it is private and just for rich folks I think lol!
Real eye-candy.Very observant and you have an eye for scenes. I like them all and food and art work and people.its a beautiful place.But i have heard its the place for the mafia dons, like in the movie Godfather.
Welcome Home! These photos show a great taste of Sicilian life.
