La Dolce Fa Niente

Modica, Sicily, Italy
     The Sweetness of Doing Nothing
     We awaken to all the church bells.   We linger late over breakfast- melon/kiwi/ pineapple smoothie, spinach frittata, yogurt, bread, jams, fruit and cappuccino   We head to the infinity pool on top and relax.  We read in the lemon scented garden.  We explore all the nooks and crannies of this hillside heaven.  We watch the town’s activities from our balcony. 
     Late afternoon we head down.  San Giorgio has carpeted it steps for a wedding. The church is decorated, shades of blue/ white which mimic its pastel interior.  I climb 110 steps to its bell tower for an extraordinary view.  This church is so beautiful- it is Modica’s centerpiece.  
     Right next door is a chocolate factory- we taste dozens of flavor combinations- no! Our pallet does not favor its tastes.  We stroll to dinner- a delicious antipasto and pasta bruorue. Paddunedda.  
     The streets are barricaded for a marathon.  People jam its sidewalks.  Several blocks long and the runners have to repeat its grid many, many times.  Crazy!
