Sunday Shout-out: Lost in Sicilia

I’m heading south in Italy this week to give a big Sunday Shout-out to a new friend and fellow blogger Karen at Lost in Sicilia. While her blog title suggests otherwise, we know from Karen’s fun and informative posts that she lives lives near Aci Castello just north of Catania in Sicily. What a lovely place to be lost in! I would just love to hop on a boat from Naples to Catania and meet Karen and her charming son for a stroll around one of the lovely piazzas in Aci Castello.

Karen is an art conservator specializing in archaeological objects conservation, and her passion for art, architecture and history makes Lost in Sicilia one of my favorite regular reads. I have also learned a lot about life in Sicily, which is not far from the Amalfi Coast and yet has so many customs, traditions and foods that are different from here. Head over to Lost in Sicilia and you will find yourself lost in dreams of sunny Sicily. Many thanks to Karen for sharing photos and stories about her beautiful city and life in Sicily!

    Hi Laura, I have been reading Lost in sicily for a few months now, really great that you did a Sunday Shout for her. Wouldn't it be great just to hop on a boat and meet up.

    I am amazed at lots of the jobs that people do, my own life must sound rather boring.. 🙁

    Ciao Karen! Prego! 🙂

    Ciao Anne! Yes, it would be great to hop on a boat! I am not sure what you do, but if it has anything to do with Formula 1, I think that is pretty awesome! 🙂

    Ciao Mediterranean kiwi! I just love your name and profile description. Thanks for stopping by and commenting and introducing me to your blog. I look forward to following and learning more about Hania!

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
