And this is how we slept, only for two nights.
Sarah was tired from our early morning travels.
Giardini Naxos, Sicily
Mom standing next to a Ferrari for Aunt Karen and Uncle Gary :)
riding in the cable car over a soccer field.
view from Taormina, Sicily.

Anna and sitting sitting down inside the the theater.
Castelmola, Sicily all the way up there! We went to Castelmola this same night! :)
Bellissimo (wonderful)!
This is one of my favorite pictures.
trying to find Castelmola by foot, and little did we know...
it's at the very top of that mountain to the left, under the light post!
mmmm... smell those lilacs!
one bus ride later, we made it to Castelmola (550 meters above sea level)!
and we're still climbing!
the view from Castelmola is and was breathtaking!
cheers in Bar Turrisi!
and here she is...
Boing-jiorno!
the sun rise.
on our way to take the ferry to Aeolian Islands.
on the ferry; off we go...
mom and anna hanging out at the snack bar.
they made a friend... the bartender.
Lipari Island, Sicily
another favorite picture. what a ham!
this was my dish called "pasta alla Norma"
Eggplant with homemade pasta and shredded ricotta cheese. buono!
lava rock
Vulcano Island, Sicily
Where's Sarah?
sulfur mud bath!
mom breathing in the refreshing smell of... sulfur!
vulcano!
Went to find the black sand and we were welcomed by a sand storm!
resting for a moment.
Can you see the heart?
This was taken right before the weather took a turn for the worst!
Our boat ride back was rather scary. Very choppy to say the least!
God giving us His sign that all is well.
This is, or was the snack bar after the stormy seas!
the calm AFTER the storm
We awoke for a day trip to Mt. Etna!
First stop on our way to Mt. Etna: honey sampling!
tasting some delicious honey
on Mt. Etna!
lava rock
our van and some of my peeps
getting my picture taken with the Mt. Etna snowman
and there was a sled. so, I took it for a spin--literally!
hotel books from around the world!
she's a beauty!
I was just waiting for this moment... I wanted to catch this little guy on camera!
Our last meal in Sicily... pistachio pizza, Gambino wine, and some pecorino cheese.
So long, Sicily. What great times we've shared! Baci!
