Tuesday - No hot water

Last night we discovered we had no hot water, but didn't want to bother the owner of the apartment as she has young kids.  Wendy did supper dishes by boiling water in the kettle.  This morning email to owner, she forgot to show us how to switch propane tanks if they run out, so she is over quickly to get it sorted.  2 propane tanks are kept in the basement, and a new one is switched out and delivered quickly.  We have seen the propane delivery guy around town many times, and now he's been to our apartment.  A beautiful morning this morning on our walk.

Mt Etna in the background


I am guessing by the look of the balcony and doors  that nobody is living there. Full ocean view

Only church by the water. Today I have a longer zoom on my camera.

Our favorite house near the Castle.
You actually buy the suites on this ship like a condo. Out of our price league but they do once around the work every year but stop longer at each stop, next stop is Malta for these folks.


More in our price range


The old  jail, wonder who got the ocean view. Would that be good or bad????

The market with a view of Apollo Temple in the back

Anywhere in the world, a cat is a cat


Lunch time walk


The busiest the beach has been so far


Pre dinner sunset walk

Ron, Nancy this is the car we got for next week.  The right one, OK?????

Fist night we have seen paddle boarders and kayakers


On a Tuesday night? Not sure if it was a pre-wedding shoot, a limo promo or real.

We decided to go out one more time for supper here.  Last night on our walk we saw two inexpensive restaurants that we saw might be good.  Tonight we could not find them!  This Island is only 1 square mile, but must have 100 streets, and 200 restaurants, they keep popping up and opening.  We knew it was near the water, but which street was it off?  Finally after 30 minutes of walking it was found.  The owner was the only one working, he is the chef, waiter, and cashier.  I can't imagine what would have happened if many more came in.  One other couple from Saskatchewan came in while we were there, and as we were leaving around 9PM 5 Italians came in.  It was a great meal, we could hear frying pans banging away in the kitchen, no microwave dings.
Where we had a bad supper a couple of week ago


A great supper tonight, doesn't look so good but was delicious appetizers. Eggplant is king in Sicily, it is in nearly every dish


The folks that the chef broke a 20 euro to give us change

  1. I told Ron that we would tie him up on the roof of the car. He’ll just have to pick up his feet to make sure that they are not dragging in the back.
