Instagram<\/strong><\/a> page, (videos to follow below) and you will see why.<\/p>\nI adore the many beautiful tiles in Europe. You can find intricate designer tiles carpeting the floors, on the wall, decor and ceilings in houses and churches you visit. Instead of concrete sidewalks we find in the U.S., you will find slabs of polished marble paths on the streets. Best not to wear flip flops as you can easily slip and fall. I love how the hotels will protect older original floorings by covering them with a glass path.<\/p>\n

This photograph was taken right outside the hotel we stayed at in Palermo. The richness in the architecture, beautifully art, pillars, doors … this is what I love about Europe. It is a complete feast for the eyes.<\/p>\n
Where have you found the most beautiful tiled artwork on your travels?<\/p>\n
<\/span>Food and Drink<\/span><\/h2>\nIndulge and savor every bite; I let myself eat whatever was put in front of me and didn’t worry about calories, while totally immersed in the cuisine experience. So glad I did, with no regrets with the few extra pounds.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What the Locals Know<\/span><\/h2>\nBy day, Sicily\u2019s plazas, streets, and alleys are staged for exploring. By night, tables and lights are set for dining. I love how the Italians do lunch and dinner. We enjoyed long conversations over three-hour meals. I actually stayed off my phone most of the time. I enjoyed savoring all the delicious fresh ingredients in the Sicily dishes All the wines we were treated to were so good. I found my favorite Rosetta<\/em>, a summer white wine (also known as \u201csummer water\u201d), and I love their dessert (Moscato) wines.<\/p>\nArrivederci <\/em><\/strong>Sicily, il mio amore<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nOn each street in Sicily I would look up and find a treasure. One entrance can lead to a hidden garden, and another can showcase details of architectural history and beauty. For me, that\u2019s the art of travel. I\u2019ll be back soon, Sicily.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Here\u2019s a video to dream of Sicily.<\/span><\/h2>\n
