Summer leisure: eating cactus on the beach...


The coastline near Rome is lovely (the Creator is revealed through creation).

Here the locals peel the skin off and eat the sweet inside of the red part of the beach cactus.

    Those beach cactus look a lot like what we call "Prickly Pears" in Arizona! They make fantastic jellies and candies as well (and mix with tequila for an amazing margarita!)

    What a great idea it was to move to Santa Marinella. And I wouldn't have done it at all if it hadn't been for your blog, John.
