When we started our journey we were on the eastern side of Sicily near the town of Catania. We drove north toward Messina and then west along the northern coastline to Marsala. Today we drove through the interior to the ancient city of Regusa. Our accommodations have been great (except for the shower in the hotel in Trapani) Small does not begin to describe the size of that shower. Today we are staying at the San Giorgio Palace. When I saw the size of the shower, I almost cried, I was so happy. If I have room I will post a picture.
This has been a great adventure. Any time you take a "Space A" hop, it is an adventure. Terry and I have been close friends for many years and for Linda and I, to have shared this trip with Terry and Mary has been great.
I have laughed quite a bit watching Terry butcher the Italian language. I did not know what he was saying and I am reasonably certain the Italians did not either. When Terry greeted them with the phrase "buena sera" it sounded like "whad's up". You know what I mean.
Regusa can trace its history back to the 2nd millenium BC. It has been ruled by the Carthagenians, the Turks, Romans, the Byzantines, and less not forget the Normans. Mary Norman Carter's folks found their way to Regusa. Geoffrey Norman, son of Roger Norman was the first Count of Regusa.
This trip is one of extremes, tonight we are in a Palace, tomorrow night we will be in the BOQ at Sigonella Naval Base. More about that later.
