Now for our second day in Sicily. We stayed local, and walked to Caffe Europa to get some cappuccinos and pastries for breakfast.

After eating breakfast and wandering the streets a bit, we rented a paddle boat and paddled out to the rocks to swim and sunbathe. I didn't bring my nice camera out on the paddle boat, for obvious reasons, so the next pictures are from Lindsay's water camera.

After everyone had enough sun and swimming, we headed back to the house for some naps :-) Well,some people napped...I don't like to nap so I just read my book.

We went into Catania that night, and ate at an amazing restaurant that I, once again, can't remember the name of!! Haha. It was really cool though, the walls of the place were stacked and stacked with wine bottles. You can see from the pictures that there are lots of bottles, but they really don't do the place justice. They have ladders on wheels so they can get to the wines they need to serve. We were pretty much the only people inside, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. And the food, well that was AMAZING :-)

| Nick and Clint got noodles with seafood |
 |
| Linz and I got the salmon...delicious! |
 |
| Gene's steak...made everyone jealous :-) |
