Experiencing Carnevale & Easter in Sicily

Easter is a time for dressing up, looking your best and hunting for candy.

‪Happy #FatTuesday / #MardiGras!

"Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
Roll on, brother, in the wheel inside the wheel"
