Ispica life

I said just a little off the top!

6 pieces of pizza for 6 hungry

Been here for a few days now and my first impressions have been proven correct. This sicilian oasis offers more delights by the day. Whether it is hanging with kite-surfers on the nearby unpopulated beach, helping Bernd out with cutting down a palm tree or just chilling in town, enjoying a gelato (ice-cream) or pizza with the locals, it all leads to one conclusion - here is a place to return to every April and September/October.
Small town Sicilian life can be a bit weird and claustrophobic at times. For example, the gardener knew all about this "crazy, German cyclist" from the kids I talked to the other day and overheard arguments from the neighbours are of the loud and long variety, but it really gives you a true glimpse into the non-touristic side of living here.
Learning Italian through German learning CDs is pretty cool too.
Tutti benesimmo ecco!
