Roman mosaics and a quaint medieval fishing town

A mercedes and our driver Antonio arrived on time and we set off on a six hour drive to our destination. We ventured inland through fertile farming country which included vast tracts of gum trees apparently introduced to Sicily by Mussolini. On the way we took ...

Matt is the one who got me in to quickly see a doctor on our last trip to London when I was hospitalized. Thanks, Matt. James is the former owner of a chain of movie theaters in Australia.
