It’s so easy to make wonderful meals in Sicily. The grocery stores have freshly made pasta, tasty bottled sauces, excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil, grain breads, various cheeses and affordable wines. Our apartment comes with the requisite espresso machine where we simply “plop and drop” the espresso pods and we’re ready to go!

It’s our first day and we are on the way to Porta Garibaldi - an historic Baroque-style arch built in 1768 to celebrate the marriage between a king and a princess. But first, we stop at a grocery to buy things for lunch, and view a tattoo parlor - but Billy declines getting one. Look below for links to related stories.

Our Landlady, Katya, picked us up as we arrived at the bus station in Catania and took us straight away to our apartment. Knowing we’d be needing supplies, she offered to take us to the large food chain store, LIDL, to get supplies. Going through some backstreets, you’ll see the gritty historical city on our first day.

We just arrived in Hiroshima, Japan and cannot yet check into our hotel room. It’s lunch time, and we’re looking for someplace open and find this very local noodle shop. Menu is in Japanese, of course, but we utilize Google translate to help us out. As foreigners, we are sometimes treated differently, but the noodles are spectacularly good!

We are meandering through the narrow streets of Cefalu, Sicily which used to be a Medieval town. It’s easy to image donkeys with firewood on their backs and horse drawn carts with vegetables going down these vias centuries ago. These days it has modernized with running water, internet, and dozens of restaurants all waiting to open for customers later on in the day. Beautiful beaches where inter...

We are hiking up La Rocca in Cefalu, Sicily. The hike starts out easy, but gets increasingly slippery, uneven and unstable. The top is 270 meters up this long and winding footpath. The views are staggering and sweeping, but at about 80 % up this trail, we decide that we can no longer continue. If you go, wear hiking boots, bring a walking stick and water/snacks in your daypack! Highly recommend...

La Rocca is a huge presence, there is a Cathedral, and this beach is where many invasions of this island of Sicily happened. Hard to even envision that through the calmness that is today.
