Last weekend Fra and I took nonna Nancy up in the mountains to take a look at her hometown, the coast of Sicily and to check out if we could find some fruits or berries.
Nero d'Avola, the famous vine, comes from that region.
In the picture above you can see Avola and in the picture under the coast line of Sicily, all the way until the south end.
The cute and crazy ones even pose in the same way!
Up at the mountain we could look down at some lakes, where Fra went to often as a kid. We couldn't go there now because the walk takes about 2 hours and we were not exactly wearing hiking boots. But a great place to swim and sun bath and the water is really clean! Looks like quite the paradise :)
Then we saw some olives, that I of course tasted and had to spit and make faces. The Italians laughed to me, what a stupid girl who doesn't see the difference on eatable olives and oil olives ?!
Then we found figues and they were really delicious and them we could pick.
It was hilarious to pick fruits with nonna Nancy, because she jumped with her walking stick up in the air to catch a branch and then pulled it close :) She looked so funny and cute :)
