It's really such a beautiful theater. You really cannot appreciate it's beauty until you see it in person.

What kind of stories do you want?


The first night in Taromina, we were in the lounge at the hotel, and I was out on the terrace having a drink and the piano player and I began talking. He asked me if I liked the music of Nino Rota! I began laughing and one thing led to another and it turned out that he was a personal friend of the owner of the Villa that was used as Don Tomassino's Villa in the movie. He took my e-mail address and promised me that he was going to e-mail me pictures of the Villa both inside and out. We'll see.



When we were on our way over from Sicily, we made a stop to a small town, up in the mountains of Calabria. We went to this restaurant that was something out of an old Italian movie. The grandmother was cooking in the kitchen, the grandfather was serving the homemade wine. The sons and daughters served us antipasta that consisted of various italian cheeses, prisciutto di parma, cappicola ( which by the way is completely different than the capi that we get in the states) and dry sausage. Then we were given home made pizza. Then a dish of home made spaghetti ogla oil that was simply to die for. For dessert we were given a home made tirumisu, a double espresso, and a platter of assorted melons. As we were having dessert 3 little children came out to entertain us by playing the accordian. They played many italian folk songs and finished with The Godfather theme. I felt like I was taken back in time to my roots as my family originated from the Calabria region. It was such a fantastic experience in that small town family restaurant. Something that I will never forget!

How nice. The opera house looks well kept and beautiful and the hotel looks modern compared to what I visualized I guess.


It sure sounds like you've done and seen a lot during your vist DC. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures.

But I'm sure it will all be straightened out soon. And, for now, I can be happily envious reading your vacation stories and viewing the pictures SC posted for you.

Welcome back DC. I am very happy your trip was such a success. Having been to Italy several times, I agree with you that it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Next trip head north to Tuscany, Venice, and the Italian Alps. BTW I also cannot see the pics.

DC, when you were in Taormina, did you take the cable car down to the beach? My parents were totally pissed at me because I was too afraid to ride in it. My mother wanted to leave me at the hotel and go, but my father wouldn't do it.

Those are absolutely beautiful photos, DC. I'm so glad that the trip was everything that you hoped for and dreamed of.

It depends if the Au pair is going to take care of the kids....or me! ;\)

No blue drinks in Italy. Only when I go to the Caribbean.

For me, it was Amaretto on the rocks. And White Russians in the afternoon because they were the closest thing to having an iced coffee. ;\)

No. We took a shuttle. Unfortunately the cable cars were not running because of the brush fires on parts of the mountain side that were caused by the heat.

Actually the cab rides were fine. The were pretty reasonable cost wise as well as the drivers being really nice. Funny thing too is that the all drivers were Italian. ;\)

Well, that's good. I'd hate to see you under the pressure of having to drive your own cab in Europe, not being used to the other side of the street and all..... \:D
