Taormina and a BBQ


Just another Friday in Paradise. We started our daily adventure by driving to Taormina yet again.

Isola Bella

Is it possible to tire of this beautiful sight? I can keep trying I guess.

Why is he so glad to see me?

Giardini Naxos Celebration of Life

After a hard morning of sightseeing, we retired to Taormina's nearby beach at Giardini Naxos.

Both Jim and I availed ourselves of Linda, one of the Chinese girls who gives "Massgees" on the beach for 5 to 10 euros. we both opted for the 10 euro full body "massagee".

It was money WELL invested, so we celebrated with a gelato. Let's just say that it wasn't our first gelatos of this warm day.

Christian's BBQ

After a quick shower, we were off to our Free Safety Christian DiMauro's home for a small BBQ. Christian's family lives in a beautiful home and they were great hosts.

Roberta

Is it possible to tire of this beautiful sight? I can keep trying I guess.

As the reigning Miss Italy, when does she have to leave for Atlantic City's Miss Universe contest?

The Sicilian version of a Happy Face

Christian's sister fixed all sorts of pasta, eggplant and meat dishes for our dining pleasure.
