Ragusa

Ragusa, another hill town along the way. It made for great exercise walking up and down the many steep streets and steps.  Our routine in all of the hill towns:

       1.  Climb hills and steps
       2.  Stop to catch our breath
       3.  Climb hills and steps
       4.  Stop and eat ice cream
       Repeat

A common scene throughout Sicily was a gathering of old men, they were always in the midst of a animated discussion with waving arms and an array of superfluous Italian gestures. They always gathered in the mornings and then again in the evenings. We never saw women gathered in similar meetings so it appears to be "an old guy thing".
