Fresh Orange Juice Stand
In contrast to Greek and Roman Ruins, we have seen some eye-popping contemporary sights in Sicily. There are furniture design stores everywhere. If the display windows are to be believed, everyone lives in a present day Felini movie.
We have also observed some commercial design that belies narrow streets and homemade pasta. There is a traveling orange juice stand that we have seen at several venues. Local feast days are a biggee. The orange opens to a preparation area and counter with similiar design and hues. The orange juice is freshly squeezed, some from the local specialty blood oranges.
Plastic Palm Tree
We spyed this plastic palm at a home landscaping store. They also sold pots that mimicked the reconstructed Roman pots we saw at the Museum of Archaeology. These along with a drive-in MacDonald’s are a sobering reminder that even Sicily suffers from international exposure to plastic and Big Macs.
