Casa. Dolce Casa
Home sweet home. And sweet it is. Here it is almost the first day of Spring, and it seems like I almost missed winter. Well, except for my first tour of the US, which ended two days after winter began, but I had enough snow up to my knees and cold into my bones to not want anymore of what winter could offer.
And it is really little wonder that I feel like I missed winter, or certainly winter in beautiful Sciacca. I realized that in the four months from November 15 to March 15, I was home less than thirty days. First was the trip to the US culminating in a return to Sciacca with Jon and Jess, and that trip has already been chronicled here. Then another trip to the states, (the left coast this time), a trip to Israel, and a trip to Germany. All are now waiting for their turn in this space, and I have finally gotten the energy up to start writing about them. Before I get into that, and I realize these will be published backwards, so I guess after I get into that, as far as the reader is concerned, I will admit that I did not take as many pictures as I would like, so I will be spending more time with words for the next several posts than with pictures.
Before, (or for you, after) I get into all of that, one more factoid. In the last year, if my counting is correct, and if I did not forget any little trips, which I just might have done, I have logged 41 different flights. That is just too much travel. So now I am at home sweet home. My next travel, or at least the next travel I plan, will be to Amsterdam in late May, with a group of folks from Nicolosi and the Sigonella Naval Air Station.
In the meantime, well, you have read it already by getting to this one.
