Castelmola, Sicilia

Castelmola, Sicilia

Look up! Look waaaay up! That is where Castelmola is from Taormina. Of course, the only rational choice was to take a taxi.

Castelmola on the left, Taormina on the right.

Feels like the very top of the world

That’s Mt. Etna with the cloud on top.
Taormina down below

There are the remains of a wall from the Hellenic period. Probably a good choice strategy-wise, but a helluva slog to bring up supplies.

It’s a tiny village, with a few shops and more restaurants. Main claim to fame is the Turrisi Penis Bar.

Joan and I did some window shopping and some real shopping, and here is where we found the men (one of whom is trying not to be found yet):

A fabulous little car and a cute little girl later, and we headed back down the hill.

How do you say, “We’re in Italy” without saying a word?

A little lunch and then it was time to head back to our hotel for a little siesta.

Another day, another wedding . . .

And more beautiful people

Definitely drinks at our roof top bar

Mt. Etna made a brief appearance
Check out my new earrings!

Two pizza, a bottle of wine and four gelatos later, we are ready to pack it in. Tomorrow we have a reservation at the resort made famous by the White Lotus series. 40 euro pizza – can’t wait.
