From my balcony I spotted these two men:
Let me point out that this is a rather small market, frequented by locals, locals who come to buy fruit, vegetables and other household items. I normally walk down my stairs with €10 in my pocket to see how much I can buy. Yesterday for €12.50 I purchased: 1 x tracksuit pants, 2 x long sleeve tops, tomatoes and peaches, clothes all new and fruit and veggies very nice! The tourists it seems go so they can strip off...or let's hope these old, unsightly men went to the market to buy a top since they forgot them in their home land.

LOL, your tourist stories always make me laugh!! :) However, great buy! It's pretty cool that admist the rising costs of Italy, you can still find bargains.
I only found your blog 2 days ago but devoured it all in one afternoon. Thanks so much! It is my dream also to one day live in Italy, but at the moment cause of my job, that ain't happening anytime soon. So I am living vicariously through you! Hehehe.
Liz or Domina, I don't mind which :). I am in Australia at the moment, but am studying Italian to sate my interest in the meantime.

PS. Oh and in response to your statement, if I come back to your blog...every day! :)
Ciao Liz,
Thanks for your comments. You don't know how much I appreciate them! When I started the blog I was not sure if anyone other then my twin sister would read them. :)
Where in AUS are you? We are from Melbourne.
Ci sentiamo presto,
Leanne
Welcome to the blog world! I clicked over from Shelley's blog when I saw a new name :) I am definitely interested in hearing more about that part of Italy - I've been to the Palermo/Trapani area twice but not yet to Toarmina. :)
Ciao Sara,
Thanks for the welcome! You must check out Taormina at some stage, but come off season as you cannot move here for most of the year due to the millions of invading tourists!
Keep those comments coming they are so funny.
