It makes me think of the plumbing in a house my brother used to own: made of "lunchbox-length" copper pipes. That sort of thing wasn't unusual in the Trail, BC, area.
5 years agoYou know, I do feel a bit guilty about that. Rocky and I seem to have way too much of our share of the good luck.
5 years agoEnvy is a terrible thing. Could you and Rocky please go some place with miserable scenery and ugly food presentations? It might also make me feel better if you don't go to any more hotels in which famous literary figures have stayed. Thank you.
5 years agoHe does make a good point though. I’m feeling a bit guilty for having kept him penned up for so long. We really need to see his shiny face more often.
5 years agoThat’s one of the wonderful thing about traveling to places like these. You can’t help but reflect on how different our lives are today from those who came before us.
5 years agoSicily is such an amazing place. I admit I had misgivings about returning so soon, but it was a wonderful month. And yes, I did mention the other Bike Friday guests at the hotel, and they remembered you.
5 years agoReading your blog makes us want to go back to Sicily. Say Hi to Luigi at the Hotel Victoria and enjoy your meals at La Zagara. Some of our best memories!
5 years agoLove today's videos .. scenery made more beautiful by an absence of motor vehicles.
And great to hear your voices on the picnic video. Nice zoom on the plume!
Or how long it took to build them?
Or what is involved maintaining them?
Wow!
What a face!
5 years agoOh, the GBO looks so handsome there!
I agree .. he needs to pipe down about about not seeing Mount Etna. Just remind him of how lucky he is that you have carried his excess weight to so many beautiful places.
Thanks Scott. We managed to break Keith’s camera just before the end of our tour in October of last year. We bought a new one (Sony) just before we left and he doesn’t care for it at all. His last few cameras have been Canon. If this one survives the trip I think it will probably be replaced. We are going to take a look at the Panasonics.
We are both working hard on the get well business and I am almost there but Keith really needed a break today. I am lucky he isn’t a complainer because he really has a dose of common cold.
Agreed. They do vary somewhat in appearance.
5 years agoNow there’s a risk I hadn’t thought of. He’s probably about to tip a pail of boiling tar over the parapet.

Looking at it again, it looks like it was originally a "ship ladder" type of staircase, with bits added on alternating sides to provide deeper treads. I guess if you lived there you'd get used to it.
