syracuse

enfin sortie des rue sombres et sales de naples, Syracuses est une ville tres jolie et prorpre. La temperature est un peu plus douce le soir et le jour, au soleil c'est chaud. Nous avons vue le parc archeologique qui concitent une arene romaine, un theatre grec et une immense grotte ...

Seeing classical Greece in Italy

After our stay in Siracusa, we drove to Agrigento, on the south coast of sicily. Stunningly beautiful blue sky and blue Mediterranean waters set off the sight of magnificent Greek Temples onthe ridges overlooking the bay. Built in the period of around 565 BC these beautiful structures have withstood the ravages of invasions by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Normans ...

Ortigia, Medieval city, charm of the old world

Our trip itenerary took us next to Ortigia, the oldest paart of Siracusa. Our hotel was situated on a narrow street, barely wide enough to drive a car. Hotel Gargallo was in an old building, but inside it had been renovated and modern accommodations were a delight. We met relatives there, whom we had not ...

Ooooooooh, Sicily. I guess I have to go now.

I think James Taylor should have recorded Oh Sicily rather than Oh Mexico. This place is splendid.

And I couldn't have asked for, or even imagined better accommodations. Anna and the family are taking such good care of me. And I really do feel like I'm becoming part of the family. We normally have dinner around 830, and so the other day Anna knocked at my door around 8 and told me that they would be going to the family birthday party of her niece and if I wanted I could come along ...

I am happy to report that we flew on Sunday morning, and so we only lost 2 days of traveling in Sicily. The next time I blog I will be writing about the second cousins which we had the great pleasure of meeting today, in Siracusa and Floridia, Sicily.
For tonight, I will just say goodnight and I wish everyone a happy Halloween. Love, Mary Jo

IT'S MY BIRFDAY!!!

... villa. Villa Zottopera is an olive oil producer and their grounds are beautiful. I'm the only guest staying here (they only have 5 rooms/apartments even in high season). So last night I ate dinner with their family. It was marvelous. We all stood in the kitchen, drinking wine and soda and watched the mama (Anna) prepare the meal. Then we headed to the dining table to eat:

Rigatoni con funghi e pecorino -- I personally watched Anna 'stir' by ...

Syracusa: vom 4*hotel ins B&B

... 8230;ich legte einfach das geld auf den tisch was in meiner confirmation bestätigt war und verliess das hostal.

Nach diesen episoden (und vielen anderen, die wir nicht all detailliert erzählen wollen), wollten wir wieder unser eigenes auto und unabhängig sein. Mit unserem neuen fiat cinquecentöli düsten wir dann nach san leone, gleich unterhalb von agrigento am meer.

Agrigento sei eine hochburch der ‚narcotis-mafia‘ und sehr agressiv. Schöööön. :-)

Ons historisch goed

... de andere straat of zitten eindeloos op terrasjes. We leren al snel de stad kennen en zien aan de zuidkant een geweldige baai waar veel schepen voor anker liggen. Toch is het wel fijn in de haven te liggen, je kunt gemakkelijk je boot achterlaten nu het zo hard waait.




We lopen heel wat kerken af zoals de imposante Duomo (Tempio di Atena) en zien prachtige doorkijkjes op bijna elke hoek. Op die zelfde Piazza Duoma staat, of beter, ligt ...

... typique). On passe à la maison et Anna nous propose d´aller manger chez son père qui habite aussi à Ragusa. Sur le chemin, on s´arrête dans un appartement loué par des garçons dont Dario. Ca ressemble à un squat sans toute fois en être un. Son papa nous a cuisiné une salade de tomate oignon (que j´ai mangé, je me suis même resservie !)(Sophie a renié ses convictions sur la nourriture rouge le temps d´une entrée !!) et des p ...
