No news about Michael Jackson? Here there is a video of They Don’t Care About Us.
Sicily. The rustic farmhouse Galassia in Patti Marina, not very far from Messina, in Sicily. I have read about this place in the Guardian Cottages & Villas at Cottageselection.co.uk.
Ibiza, Bali and snorkelling. How are Ibiza, the White Isle and the Rough Guide to this town? And Indonesia, Bali and the island of Gili Trawangan? Maybe it should not be very far from Lombok and the Padang area of Sumatra and, so far as I know, snorkelling may be practiced there.
The Observer. And have you ever been to the bungalows of the Dream Village or have you read this article in the Observer by Iain Stewart? In the first case I haven’t…
Music. A playlist of mine.
Middle East. Have you ever been to the Medina in Saudi Arabia and its fez? Here a photo and another one or a third one about a fez (I hope – and am sure – the author was not wrong!).
Spain. Here also a blog (O Sanxirole) in Spanish by Carlos with the texts, “Y con esta, van doscientas” and “Las cinco de la tarde“. Furthermore, another blog is the chronicles by a man, Dan – and here one of his pages. Another blog in Spanish is Bostezando cuerpecitos.
A visit to Sicily and oranges. The following photos were taken in Sicily in Agrigento (one of its temples and another one), Palermo (maybe the Cathedral and the Palatine Chapel – photo one and two), Monreale (photo one and two), the Dome , the Greek Theatre and a pushcart with oranges in Syracuse or the San Domenico Church in Noto.
– A Brazilian-Italian friar, brother Sidival Fila. And furthermore, the Italian singer Alessandra Celletti. Brazil, Canoa Quebrada, tourism and a blog.
The visit in Noto also includes an image of the San Nicolò Church and a view with some palms. In the very East of Sicily there is also a point of view of Ragusa and completely on the other side of Sicily – Western side near Trapani – a temple in Selinunte, another one in Segesta and salt mills in Mozia. Besides, in Sicily there is always an occasion to see a Madonna and there are also other Sicilian photos, but… another time.
Indonesia… Which fruits are these?!
