Gray's Academy

I met an ICU doctor and his wife a few days into my time in Taormina. They were recently retired and from Pennsylvania. They were traveling with a group of people who, as they said, had trouble getting on and off the bus.

One thing I know about Sicily is that it is a workout wherever you go. There is level ground at the beach and it stops there. The hills and mountains rise up out of the sea before you can get two NFL first downs.

I was sharing my experiences with them and they were eager to know what it would be like to have more time in Sicily. Me: you can drink the water. It’s fine.

Him: I am pretty sure that water is coming thru lead pipes.

Holy shit! No more tap water for me😎
