Island of Ortigia, Sicily, Italy
     Boat ride- we board-engine won’t start.  12 passengers pile on small boat(we have to duck to fit under a bridge)- transfer to a replacement.  We motor out and see Ortigia from a different standpoint.  Small caves and large rock formations guard the sea.  We stop and  jump in - Ionian Sea (to add to our list).  Water is cool, salty and refreshing. 
     The ships mate has made lunch.  His food is delicious.  The group of 12 has Prosecco, wine and appetizers.  Then comes pasta pistachio pesto and a tomato based fish sauce.  
     We meet a young couple on the boat- they are getting married in Siena next week.  Continual toast and advice dispensed freely by passengers.  It is a terrific amicable group.  
      The sea has exhausted us, a quick recharge and we are out. Pizza (Sicily) and dancing- a favorite combo of mine. We return to Optuylia- a wild night- so so much fun.  American and Italian songs-we stay until midnight - perfect last night finale !!!
