We are having a great time.
Christina and Piero treated us to a wonderful meal at their home. They came to our hotel and walked us back to their home. It was close. We enjoyed Elvira and Nicola as well as Christina and Nicola. All of our meals have been very good. Our hotel in Palermo was old elegance. Beautiful breakfast.
We have walked and walked. We went to a 11:30 concert at the Opera House, Brahms Waltzes for voice and 4 hands at piano. We sang them in ROS several years ago. These singers were beautiful and professional. Very enjoyable. Then in the evening 6:30, the opera, in the beautiful hall. The morning concert was in a small auditorium, same building. Dinner after the opera.
We found the bus 'station' and made a pleasant trip to Trapani, yesterday. We walked what seemed like miles, out to the point. Found a good restaurant, of course. A long way back to our B & B, which is not in the Old Town, but in the New Town.
Today we went to Erice. Beautiful, and very high and cold. Italians are wearing down coats. (I have a sweater and vest and cotton jacket, I had not taken my rain coat.) Most everything was closed. But we again had a good dinner. Our B&B owner gave us the name of a taxi that took us there and then picked us up. Very convenient.
Tomorrow, to Agrigento. People hare friendly with us, and with Popops Italian and many peoples English, we are communicating fine. We have a learning curve with each city, good and pretty easy puzzles to solve.
But the question is, how are you all? Is Rosie behaving all right. Is it spring yet?
This is the first time I have been able to get to internet.
Love to you all.

Hi Janice,
Glad to hear you're having a lovely vacation in Sicily.
Of course. it's still winter here, though we're suppose to have a high 30's day on Wednesday. Love, Barbara

Thanks for the update. Keep them coming. And pictures. This winter is wearing me down. It may get to 40, but that's just going to bring flooding. Plus I have an ice dam of extraordinary proportions soon to cause a leak in my bedroom.
Rosie is fine, but I think she misses you. There were 4 eggs yesterday! The first time we had any eggs at all.
Cristina emailed me about the dinner, they also enjoyed your company. Glad you are having a good time. Yesterday it snowed, it is a bit warmer today. Enjoy the temples of Agrigento.
