I remember going to La Vucciria as a “treat” when I was a kid. My father would only go there on special occasions (go figure!). I suppose because we lived a bit far from Palermo, but it’s places such as La Vucciria that makes me want to move back to Sicily. You can’t get fresh products like that over here in Los Angeles.

And what a treat that must’ve been! I’ve told a lot of people about that market since last February!

Those markets look wonderful! I often think that if Americans grew up buying fresh vegetables from local markets (where we might get to touch & taste before buying) we would be much more likely to grow up enjoying them.

That’s great news about your mom’s visit! Is this her first visit to Italy? How long has it been since you’ve seen her? I hope you have a wonderful time — I look forward to hearing at least a little bit about your adventures together.

I think you’re right about growing up with markets; when you’re used to it, it’s just so second nature.

This is my mom’s second time in Italy, the last four years ago. I’m sure I’ll have lots to share

I’m back in the blogosphere and have missed your blog very much. And now you are in Palermo! Yahoo! I hope you and Cherrye have a safe and fun trip.

I am very glad that you are human, and cannot possibly blog daily while having a visitor! You are such a power-blogger that I don’t know how you do it! So, Superwoman, enjoy your mom and have no guilt about not blogging for a bit (even though we will miss you!)

Oh we’re *long* back from Palermo, Jeni…just took me this long to get the trip reports up! We had a very safe and fun trip, thanks

And yes, I am definitely human, and even more so a daughter who wants to spend lots of time with la Mamma No guilt here, I promise!

there’s nothing like Italy, I swear. You’ve inspired me to go through my catalog of market pictures from my last trip to France. I don’t have any of Italy, unfortunately, but looking at yours was great!

I love the market! That’s fantastic!

You live too far away. Or else I do… hmmm. Must get to looking for flights to Palermo so I can go to the market, and Calabria so we can have tea and take photos.

No apologies for these, I’ve never seen a market in Palermo, it was like looking through a secret window and it was lovely, thank you.
