10-29-25 Sicily!
I met the Wyatts for breakfast and then we headed to meet up with our tour. Christian was a guide with a lot of information and I was happy to find out on the bus were Ginger and Paul because it seems somewhat clear that the Wyatt’s were disengaged with me today. As it happens, their new friends came and met them the same as they did in our last day together, so I just split off and did my own thing. I do love these Texans that I’ve met Glynn and Kathy, Paul and Ginger are just lovely humans and I do hope to get to go there and see them in their home state someday.
We took the bus to Castelmola and the whole experience was amazing with incredible scenery and windy roads. Once there we wandered in and out of shops and I went off on my own up into the castle itself and enjoyed all of its beautiful overview of the area. I had forgotten my earrings so I did buy a new pair which are the symbol of the wagon wheels in the region. There was a penis bar here which was unusual. We did not stop for a drink.
Next, we took the lovely windy drive to Taormina. What a beautiful city. I hung with Paul and Ginger as we shopped and explored and ate and had a really great day
Once back in port we were led to a spectacular church and astronomical clock. The church has 1600 pipes for its organ
I raced to get dressed up for my Special Tuscan Meal. I was seated with Tom, Scott and Serena. They were friends who met on board and good dinner companions. We all went to O’Malleys after for a nightcap. The meal was delicious but I would not have signed up for it if I had upgraded earlier. My meals in my package have been amazing
