Then we climbed Mt. Tauro.
That was a pretty good hike, but we just didn't feel like we were, well, high enough. And since the Saracene castle was closed (like it always is, it seems), we figured we'd get a better view if we hiked up to Castelmola. From there we could look down into the Saracene castle.
We also found a good spot to watch the sunset.
I think we might have died and gone to heaven.
Then we came back down to earth.
We finished off the day with some home made pasta alla norma.
The next day we went for a ride on the Circumetnea railroad. It's sort of like the Chatanooga Choo Choo only more lava.
And prickly pears.
When we were done with that we went back to Al Gabbiano where I had the best fish meal I'd had since the last time I went to Al Gabbiano. Brian and I ate spaghetti in black cuttlefish ink.
And then Richard and I ate barbecued squid.
In the end we were happy, sleepy and full. Very, very full.
