Really love this blog. They're not just well written and entertaining, they're also useful, as they were a real help when I visited Sicily last month. I will continue to read them in preparation for my next trip to that wonderful place.

I love John's blog, it portraits in a funny and intelligent way Sicilian atmosphere. John has made a good job providing useful information about this wonderful land, enhancing its qualities and defects objectively. I would give him ten stars if I could! :)

John is a very good writer, I always read his blog...it's a nice, alternative and colourful view of sicilian landscape, people and situations. I like to see how a foreigner sees Sicily, and John does it in a very good way.

A wonderfully indepth perspective due to John P. Brady's lyrical prose which jumps right off the web and into the hearts and minds of us avid travellers who seek pastures new. Keep up the good work!
