We had a great time today. We rode the bus to take the Boat Ride to Zingaro park excursion. We sailed up the wester coast of Sicily seeing the unspoiled terrain and the mountains. There was a stop where we could get in the water – Frances and Lauren did – I didn’t as I somehow managed to forget a swimsuit. We then sailed on up the coast to a small seaside town where we had a lunch buffet and time to spend shopping or on the beach Lauren went swimming and we shopped for a bit. Lauren wouldn’t allow me to buy a Speedo (I wonder why – I mean all of the European men are wearing them….) but I was able to buy a good bottle of Sicilian wine.
Tomorrow we got to Naples. We get to visit Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. We enjoyed spending time with a couple and the ir children on this excursion (Lauren met the daughter through the DISboards) and we will be together again for the long day in Rome on Thursday. I couldn’t get the cell phone to accept a data connection so no pictures yet again – but we should be able to get something through in Naples.
The internet from the ship has been absolutely horrid. They really need to increase the bandwidth for the prices they charge.
Have no fear, Virgil, that picture you emailed to me came through just fine. I uploaded it to photobucket for you. You look good in lime green!!!!

Hey Virgil! That’s not how I remember Frances. Or did you pick some gal up on the beach?
Sorry about your troubles, Virgil. Glad you finally made it and are having a good time. I don’t know who Karen and Stacey are, but their contributions here are hilarious. I hardly recognized you in the pictures! ha ha
Sounds like all fun and games!!! Good choice between the speedo and the vino!!!
Just where DO you put the PDFG pin on THAT???
Glad to hear you’re having a great time… wish we were all there to share it with you!
Virgil, shame on you!! It sure was funny to see that photo again.
Sounds like you all are having a great time. Wish we all were there to share some of the fun.
