Cabin fever

Hi Tribe,
Well after working non stop at the Permaculture Farm since my arrival and with the First Students now here and snuggled up in there tents, the time has come to get out of Dodge before I loose my mind. Myself and Mark, another woofer (worker for learning,food and lodging) from Maine in the States have rented a Little black Fiat and have headed off to check out the little beach town of Taormina ( forms the 1988 cult movie"The Big Blue"). I have promised myself that one day I would visit this town and find the restaurant featured in the movie and have Fruiti De Mari on the cliff face over looking the Mediterranean. I have decided to stay in the city of Palermo overnight and have booked accommodation in the Villa Igiea Hilton which is situated in the most beautiful Old building on the ocean front in Palermo, a hot bath to soak my sore, stiff and filthy body was at the top of my list. The front desk seemed horrified when two apparent park dwellers appeared filthy and unshaven seeking lodging. I have mud and white Gesso (plaster) dust caked on every piece of clothing I possess and the Virgo in me demands some balance. Cheers from Sicily.
