€82 to See the Head of Eye Surgery in Sicily — Plus Our Naples Deep Dive

Back home in the US, a cataract consultation can cost hundreds of dollars
and take months to get. In Sicily, for €82 we got an appointment with the
head of eye surgery — in 10 days. We'll walk you through exactly how we
navigated the Italian healthcare system, why we chose the private route,
and what comes next. (Stay tuned — the surgery episode is coming.)

Then we finally give Naples the treatment it deserves. This isn't a tourist
flyby — it's an in-depth, personal exploration of one of Italy's most
misunderstood and magnificent cities. The food, the neighborhoods, the
chaos, the beauty. Napoli through the eyes of two people who actually
live in southern Italy.

And back at the farmhouse — a few life updates from our ongoing restoration
of our abandoned Sicilian home.
