Smooth(l)ie

xxDSC_0514

It's been a week since we got back from our vacation, and everything's smoothly going back to everyday routine.
One easily gets used to summer rhythm, beach-relax-sun-restaurant food, but in the end, three weeks can be quite long, and I couldn't wait to get back home and have some home made food, bake again.
I'll pretend the mountain of laundry got washed by itself, and the dust disappered because some good old fairy waved her wand.
I'll pretend last week wasn't hotter than the previous three (weird summer, indeed), and the kids didn't get bored to death because there was nowhere to go and nothing to do.
No, things went on smoother than I thought they would. Just one little thing. My computer ate so much dust while we were away (I guess it was used to eating all the food photos I've been feeding it, and it went on dust-eating strike after I left ^__^), that it first started having blackouts, then for a moment we thought we had lost it after an attempt to clean it. After two days, it came back, phew!!! I just hope I didn't speak too soon.
Well, don't you think I deserved a nice tall glass of smoothie?

And here's a few more photos from our Sicilian vacation.
We reached Sicily by boat, starting from Naples.

Palermo

We spent the first week in Mondello, a small town near Palermo.
And, of course a visit to Palermo was one of the obligatory steps. A rather quick one, I must say, because it's a rather big city, and a couple hours, with two kids, are definitely not enough to visit and see it, to explore it's rich cultural and historical heritage. Which definitely makes it necessary go back and visit again.

Mondello, the beach.

A very special moment was reserved for meeting a dear blogger friend from Palermo, Stefania and her gorgeous family. Unfortunately she was going away the following day, but I count on her being my tourist guide next time I visit.
