Sicily, Spring 2022
Please keep a safe distance for a short trip to sunny Sicily. Prepare an espresso or a shot of limoncello.
Did I say sunny? Welcome to Mt Etna, on the day the sun had more important business elsewhere.
It did clear up a bit, so please enjoy the snow and the lava.
By the shores...
...and up the hills above Taormina.
And if you want a rest in between climbing the stairs, go to the theatre and enjoy the view.
This is Italy, so there are plenty of old structures around. Welcome to the circus of Siracusa.
Archimedes is not buried here, apparently.
Pull up a chair, or why does random pieces of furniture end up in inaccesible places?

Speaking of gardens, say hello to one of the inhabitants of the botanical garden.
Here there are lots of nice plants and plenty of space to ponder the mysteries of life.
