Christmas Eve Fieldtrip

This is Caltagirone. They are famous for their ceramic work and nativities. The view from the top isn't so bad either. Of course, it was a beautiful day as well.
The side streets and path were interesting inside the city. Here is Jim's backside as he explores a very narrow passageway.













On our way home we stopped at the Commonwealth War Cemetery.
There were over 2,000 British troops that died in Sicily. This was the beginning point of the Allied invasion into Europe. The British came up from Siracusa, the Americans from Gela. Both cities are on the south side of Sicily.












I even found a headstone the reads like the British spelling of my maiden name.

P-days are great!
