We spent the day in Taormina. It was beautiful, but we didn't actually get to see the Teatro Greco. We didn't actually get to the castello, either. Nonetheless, it was a great day, which was once again best captured through photos.
And here are some videos that are quite nice, too... though unrelated to Taormina in any way:
Rossi sings about poop:
And at At Al Gabbiano, in Catania, we had a final farewell dinner of fish. It was a an *amazing* experience, which included a serenade from a Sicilian folklorico band:
A million thank-yous to Rossi, who was a perfect host, an infallible translator, and an all-around great guy to be around for a week.
And now he & Mary are laughing at me because I'm drinking some grappa and am not looking pained in doing so. In fact, I quite like it. A lot.
Hoo-eee.... less than 5 hours until the cab comes. We're a little blitzed and full of fish and tired... and there are still many more experimental liquors to sample.
I'm going to miss Sicily a lot.
