Watched the sun rise over the Ionian Sea. A clear morning with Venus high in the east; I was struck by the dawn creeping down Mount Etna's slopes. And THEN...I realized that it was this exact date, back in 2001, when I stood on the battlements of Motta's lava-black castle in the bitterly cold morning air, watching the exact same sunrise and falling then and ever in love with this rugged, beautiful island in the center of the Mediterranean.
Happy anniversary, Sicilia! You and I have seen a few sights, eh?
