Valentines in Sicily


Valentine's Day is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other but we decided to stretch the definition a bit and make it a day where we celebrate our closest friendships. And what better way to do this than with an adventure trip! We booked rooms at the Castello San Marco near Taormina in Sicily and as there were so many of us Opus had to fly us down in the Magic Flying Van in two trips!

Here you see the first group (Stella, Stanley, Asta, Lacie, Charybdis, Momo, Socks and Scylla) waiting for the arrival of the second (Ruis, Karl, Opus and Sassy), who were working at the Little Production Studios late. Notice Socks has a tight grip on Scylla's paw. WE don't won't her wandering off and getting lost like she did in Ireland.

We gathered in the impressive entry hall which was all decorated for Valentine! Isn't it beautiful? We are teasing Opus about the "mystery girl" in his life. We are dying to meet her. We thinks the cat has got Opus' tongue (ha, ha) as he hasn't divulged anything about her. The curiosity he has aroused in us is about to kill us. Who is this mysterious woman???????

(Picture by Karl)Ruis and Karl kindly got tickets for us to see the sights. We thinks they may have had an ulterior motive.

Sassy is an amateur Volcanologist and her desire for knowledge lead her perilously close to the lava flow high up on Mount Etna.

We found Sassy and then went on a little excursion through Taormina where Karl and Ruis rejoined us at the theater in Taormina.




Here we are all together again. Don't we all look spiffy?
Then we returned to the castle for a wonderful Valentine's Party!
