spur of moment we got invited into an elderly couple’s home tn in sicily for homemade lemoncello and chocolate, they live in a cave home built during middle ages 👀
we talked for 2 hrs about life in sicily, food/wine ofc lol, other towns to check out in the region, and the history of the area - sicily had a massive earthquake on the southeast side that basically turned modica and many towns to rubble in 1693 - some towns lost 20-60% of their population from it, modica being one of them
when they rebuilt this region, it was in gorgeous baroque style architecture, which is what makes modica and surrounding towns in the val di noto unesco sights
learned about local rivalries in modica that lasted centuries, bc there were 2 saints, one at top of the hill one at bottom of hill. also learned the main street separating the homes on each side of the valley was a river just a century ago
fascinating convo w ppl we just met, one of my absolute fav things about living nomadically is hearing ppl’s stories 🫶 55 replies

The Earth formed about **4.5 billion years ago** from a rotating disk of gas and dust surrounding the young Sun. This process began when gravity pulled together particles to form small planetesimals, which collided and merged to form larger bodies, eventually coalescing into planets. Earth's early surface was molten due to intense heat from collisions, radioactive decay, and the compression of materials. Over time, it cooled, forming a solid crust.
During Earth's early development, a Mars-sized body collided with the young planet, ejecting material that eventually formed the **Moon**. The impact also contributed to Earth's tilt, which creates the seasons.
As the Earth continued to cool, volcanic activity released gases, forming the **early atmosphere**. Water vapor condensed into oceans as the surface temperatures dropped. This set the stage for the appearance of life. The planet’s conditions stabilized, allowing for the formation of the continents, oceans, and atmosphere we recognize today. 0 reply
