Sicily

 Beth, at Beyond the Garden Gate is having a  TRAVEL NEAR AND FAR meme and I wanted to share our travel pics.

This is our BIG travel adventure!!!


Was I ever so excited???

My husband and I were flying to Sicily to visit our youngest son, Louie. Louie was in the Navy and stationed at N.A.S. Sigonella, Sicily.

We left Nevada early one September morning, almost a year ago to the day. We only got to stay 10 days there, but OH  MY!!!
Ruins at Agrigento

What fun we had.

Louie took us to see some ruins in Agrigento...beautiful even after all these thousands of years   

Mt.Etna


We took a drive up to Mt. Etna (a real, live volcano) and got to ride the gondola to the top...........

Strolled the streets of downtown Catania, had dinner a sidewalk cafe......





The street at the Ruins

An old old church, Catania




sipped espresso and ate a scrumtious cannoli at a little bistro.
Streets of Catania

And thru all this, we had so much fun visiting with our son, who it seems has grown into a man.
Over 100 steps all the way up and I did walk them.....all the way up!

HOW THE HECK DOES THIS HAPPEN!!! Louie is my baby, and now he is having a baby of his own!!!
