2 years agoAl’s got it now but we have a few days yet before Etna. That may be off the itinerary in any case due to the current cold snap. We shall see; weather can change rapidly.
2 years agoWe shared the meal with a German family and possibly the same friend. Unfortunately, my cold was in full swing so I’d asked to sit away from others. Al and I were at a separate table.
2 years agoAgreed!
2 years agoSorry to hear about your cold, Jacquie. Hopefully it improves before you climb up to Enna.
2 years agoI recognize that place. We stayed with Etore and Innes, too. We ate dinner with them in their kitchen and laughed ourselves silly for 2 hours while noshing on the incredible feast he made for us. He invited an english speaking (sort of) friend to join us. Using google translate made for a hilarious evening. It is one of our best travel memories! When we got up in the morning there was another massive spread waiting for us. OMG, what a guy.
2 years agoI can’t believe you’re here on Good Friday, as we were. Good plan!
2 years agoIsn’t this an amazing place to be though? Riding this ‘road’ was one of our favorite days of the tour when we were here.
2 years agoNice to see it in such a favorable light.

I’m shivering just reading about your day! Good job getting it done!
2 years agoHey, we stayed with Ettore and Ines and had the full meal too. They had to roll me across the floor to my room, I was so full. We had a great night of laughs as we played pass the iPad for translation. Ettore was quite an accomplished marathon runner in his day
