Food and Wine along our travels
The best food from around the world can be found here in Sicily! Fresh seafood was the main focus, but rabbit, goat, donkey and of course a lot a bit of pasta! The best wines here were local but many are making a worldwide name for themselves especially in the Mount Etna valleys.

Art and HIstory
Sicily in its central location in the Mediterranean has been conquered over and over again. Each new ruler brought with them concepts in architecture, government and decorative art. The most impressive of these to me was the magnificent mosaics that we saw in Sicily. Here is a brief history of the island along with what we saw still today!
