Gosh - it's been a while since my last post. I've been busy making plans for my wedding which is more than 1 year away, finishing up with my naughty public school students and learning to make paper...amongst other things.
I have been meaning to post some pictures from our weekend trip to Sicily. I may have lived in Taormina for 8 months, but I never got around to visiting the town where a lot of the Godfather movie was shot. I always wanted to go, and the town itself is close enough to Taormina, but I guess I was waiting for the bel fidanzato to come with me.
It is so close for us to pop over to Sicily - it took us 3 hours in all, which is nothing considering that the majority of the autostrada is being extended, therefore is mostly one lane at the moment. The 3 hours included buying ferry tickets, queuing (with the car) to get onto the ferry, finally getting on, then finally getting off the ferry and then driving up to Taormina. The weather was perfect, I spent the night in my old apartment, and got to see my old friend/colleague again.
And of course the famous bar:
I love Sicily!

Lovely photos Leanne. I can see why you like Sicily!
Your pictures make Sicily look better than I remember when we spent Easter there a few years ago!
Lovely photographs and it looks like summer had already arrived when you were there. Big sigh from Lazio where it has not stopped raining, until today shush!
Beautiful pictures - I haven't been to Sicily yet. In fact in the 3 years I've been living in Italy I've hardly been anywhere as holidays are usually spent going back to Scotland. I keep dropping my fiancee hints that it would be nice if he took me away for a weekend somewhere but he hasn't picked up on it yet!
Thanks Cathy :)
Gil, perhaps it's time for another visit to Sicily!
Hi Sarah Elizabeth,
Keep dropping those not so subtle hints and you'll get to Sicily one of these days!
