VOYAGES WITH MIKE AND WENDY

It rained like hell Monday, and then it got nasty on Tuesday too. We did not have too much time to get bored, but the floor repair men did not come on Tuesday even after we had cancelled our hotel in Taormina for them. We shopped for ceramics and “dolces” in Sciacca and Wendy and I swam at the Terme. We took walks and picked flowers, had tea with Elaine, and ate at Hostaria d’ Vicolo. Steve and Mike drove up to San Calogero. We read and watched Italian TV.
Wednesday we drove on to Pietraprezia, my dad’s hometown, then to see the mosaics at Piazza Armenia, then on to Taormina. We had a great time, and drove back today, with stops in Catania and Caltagirone. We were stopped by a herd of cows and chased by rainbows. Etna appeared this AM and it was snow covered because when we got rain, they got snow! Here are some cool pictures from the trip. Stay tuned tomorrow for more!
