Noto

Noto is as dramatic as Perugia. The large beautiful buildings and architecture are amazing to see. I am looking forward to seeing the buildings tonight, when they are all lit up. I was able to tour a prince's home but most of the buildings are closed to the public because the insides were destroyed and still in reconstruction.

I arrived by train, which was my first mistake of the day. The train station is 2 miles from the center of Noto. Again I owe thanks to my Remarkable Women Boot Camp Team for pushing me to go beyond my endurance during our workouts. I was glad I was somewhat in shape climbing the hill to the town (or was it a mountain). I asked more than five people along the way hoping they would point downward, but all I got was dritto dritto (straight ahead). Remember that I have a backpack and a very full suitcase; I had to take a nap this afternoon.

Noto is definitely a place to visit and I am glad I stopped on my last day before farm 3. I am a little anxious to see farm 3, but that is part of the adventure. So far the people and the landscape of Sicily is more than I even anticipated. I am glad I chose Sicily as part of my adventure.

Starting tomorrow I will begin my blog on Farm 3... stay tuned.

Ciao for now

  2. Can't wait to travel back there with you. Maybe Jen can get married in Sicily! Are you eating well? Has the food changed a lot as you travel to these different towns? How's the wine?
