Summer of Slow Travel

We are on the far west side of the time zone..this picture from 9pm. It’s 10 and not completely dark. Will make the late evenings easier for us! Loving our apartment,too

I just have to show you more pictures of where we stayed in Catania. It was so unique. They called it a Living Art Gallery. More art in the hotel… There was a ton more!!

So glad we skipped the Tuna Museum. Licata feels like the La MADD of 1987. Little restaurants..chef checks to make sure you have enough food. Cars trying to navigate the smallest allies you have ever seen. And the nicest people. I grabbed an apricot from a grocery store to eat…

So we pulled into Favignana last night. This is what is on the internet… This is the other view… And Even, the tuna museum wasn’t enough to keep us there. So “we” (Karen and Steve) woke up at 4 am to start our 15 hour journey to Licata. I finished…
