Sicily and mosaics

A beautiful view from our B&B at Piazza Armerina. We were originally booked for the Casa Rosa, but Luciano met us at the driveway and explained that there was a wedding party taking over much of Casa Rosa house that night and it may be more peacefule at his place next door.
OK - here's the view!

We got there in the early afternoon, so had time to visit the town and go to dinner where Luciano recommended.
Jim even posted this photo on Facebook because it was SO good, and SO cheap!



The whole meal, for 2, including wine was 45 euros - about $50 and, no tipping






Then, here is breakfast the next morning.

Breakfast on a room overlooking an ancient city duomo. 
Then a visit to ancient Roman Villa with renowned mosaics artwork. Vila Romana del Casale is a world heritage UNESCO site. These are ancient works of art done in tiny mosaic tiles








Then a drive thru Sicily to the southern coast and a place called la Scala dei Turchi - the Turkish steps. We found our enchanting resort, got settled, then walked up the road to view the Turkish steps, had a delightful dinner and retired for the night.
