Anita and Elissa came to visit for a couple of days and it was wonderful! We went to Modica to find the famous chocolate factory of Senor Buonjuto. We got a perfect parking spot right in front of a church and were so taken by the surroundings and the ambient smells that we walked right past the entrance to the chocolate factory and right into an office. No problemo. We made it and sampled all kinds of chocolate flavours like: cinnamon; pepper; marjoram; carob; lemon; blanched almond; toasted almond; sesame seed; honey; salt; vanila; varying degrees of percentage pure chocolate and honeyed orange peel. It was all so wonderful that I didn't even mind the 39 Euro parking ticket that I got.
Today we said arivederci/goodbye to Anita and Elissa who were on their way to Agrigento and some cooking classes and we headed out to find a beach. It was a long and lovely drive through groves and greenhouses, down down down to a desolate beach where we spent a couple of hours. As soon as Sean gets here I will post the pictures.
Tomorrow we are going to ride some Italian horses. Should be interesting!
