As Americans, we learn from an early age adages like, “if it’s too good to be true, it is”, and to beware of others. Two days at Vergilia and my mind’s been rewired to believe in the genuine spirit of humanity again.
Our hosts graciously opened their home and hearts to us. From giving us a great overview of their favorite places in the city, to making sure that we didn’t need one last cappuccino to start our day, to helping us search for items at local shops, we were comfortable and felt supported every bit of our short time in Siracusa.
Come for the beautiful city, and stay for the wonderful conversation, amazing people, and freshly-squeezed orange juice that’s unlike anything you’ve had back home. “Vergilia” is a reminder that life is about the journey.
