Volleyball - Italian Style!

This weekend we set out for Kastalia, a sports resort just south of Ragusa in Sicily. We traveled with Rob's volleyball team for a wonderfully authentic, family weekend a la Siciliano!

Three years in Sicily and more often than not, it still feels like we're visiting a culture. Without a doubt this weekend...as the only Americans on property, immersed in a family weekend getaway completely surrounded by all Sicilians, we felt the subtle shift that comes from being a guest in a culture to being a part of it.

So here's the coveted holy grail of the weekend surrounded by Hawaii's state flower - the hibiscus!

Dear Jacque,

Thanks for your comment! Your blog is great too (and great taste with the layout - LOL). You have so many photos of the old country that are so charming. Your family seems to have a great sense of humor. Love the vampire by your head as you're sleeping. Must be a fantastic experience living there.

Are you thinking of my services in HI or in Italy? (Are you from Oahu?)

With aloha, Leslie

P.S. I tried replying to your message but it bounced back.
