Palm Sunday

Look at all these people.

One of the Palm displays they were holding.

The procession.

These palm displays for the procession seemed very heavy

We took a tour to the city of Gangi for their Palm Sunday procession. They say it is one of the most beautiful processions in Sicily. After a 4 hour bus ride with 1.5 hours of that up a winding mountain (Thank God we weren't driving) we got there just in time for the procession. The drums started and the procession started. I we followed it into the first Church. It came out of the Church and proceeded around the entire town, then back to the first Church. It was a sight to be beheld. The town itself was nice, but there were so many people. On the way back to base we stopped at an agriturismo for lunch, not the best, but not too bad. Good time!!

Sicilian Oranges

Nothing is better than fresh oranges, except when you pick them yourselves. We bought a crate of oranges from our friends last week and we had fresh orange juice EVERY morning. This week he invited us out to pick the oranges. It was a nice sunny day and you felt the health eminating from these oranges. So again this week, fresh orange juice EVERY morning, oranges for snacks and maybe juice at night. They say fresh juice is good for Anne's GI problems, we shall see. There are some full blood oranges and then some part bloods, I don't remember the "real" names for the types. Look it up is you want to know!!
