Episode #102. How Sicily Made Us Family

Brian turned 60 this year, and 44 Sicilian neighbors and friends showed up to celebrate with us — only 6 Americans in the room. This episode is about what that meant: how Sicily made us family.

We also dig into the Sicilian psyche — the generosity, the abundance, but also the loneliness that's creeping in as the island's younger generations leave and the culture shifts. Plus an almond harvest, the final pull from our orto, and a bike ride video through the countryside that still gets us every time we watch it back.
