Skis, meals and Batman!

Sicily was amazing. The views and scenery were amazing! Skiing on a volcano was a very cool experience. I'd have never thought that my first ski in two years would have been on Mt. Etna in Sicily. I'm so glad I opted to do it. It will be an experience I won't soon forget. I've never skied through clouds so thick in my life.

Dan's meal was a huge hit (thanks, Dan). A delicious meal of spagetti and garlic bread. And let's not forget the vino! mmmm mmm. Terry and I did the dishes while singing a duet of "Yesterday"...and maybe some tunes from Anne. That kitchen never shined so good. We all had a nice sleep with full tummies.

Our last day in Sicily was packed with hills and steps. Fun, but tiring. We took a nice break on a statue in a piazza and watched some children play Batman and King Kong. It was a happy moment. They were the perfect entertainment for us in our exhausted states. The perfect end to a perfect trip to a wonderful island. Fantastic!
