Wacky random ramblings about wacky random trips


First Day in Catania

Like a lot of cities in southern Europe, Catania could do with a high-pressure wash: everybody smokes, all the cars & scooters are constantly billowing smoke, and nearly every available surface has graffiti sprayed all over it. However, like Athens, Catania somehow manages to retain a certain charm of its own, beneath all the grime.

But back to our narrative: we both made it here on time somehow, but can the boys possibly be as fortunate?

Spoiler alert: they made it!!
And as luck would have it, it’s time for dinner!!!
Sam had twelve or thirteen years to enjoy being taller than the boys….
The restaurant on the left is where we had hoped to grab dinner
Yup this is the place
Great pic!!! You can see the three of them in the center, begging & pleading to get us in… once again, Sam’s Italian made the difference
We began with the charcuterie board–if memory serves, this was the “medium” sized one lol
And pizzas were had of course
And an excellent white!
And a whacked-out dessert of some sort
What a great first day in Sicily!!
