We had another lovely two week holiday in Sicily, staying in our favorite Hotel La Riva in Naxos,
below the more famous Taormina. June spent much of the time, as always, sunning herself on the beach, and reading a book.
Robin took cigar-smoking lessons from Enrico, until interrupted by June. We spent three nights in a B&B with Enrico and Matilda,
at Scala di Turki (Turkish Steps) near Agrigento, in the south. We saw lots of other places with Enrico and Matlda,
including picking cherries near Antillo, and attending the famous "Territorio in Festa" in Punta Lazzo.
