Back to Messina, Sicily for final visits with family and goodbyes.
Bippo (Giuseppe), Rob's brother and his beautiful daughter Susana. 
Just for Dante. This is a fish vendor in the town of Santo Stefano di Camastra which just happens to be a great place for buying ceramics! 
Rob really like the BIG cannoli in the window and insisted we take pictures!
This next series of pictures are very special. This is Rob's aunt. Zia Franca. His fathers sister and Ghery's mother who lives in Messina. She is so special. The quintessential example of a proper italian lady. She has perfect posture, perfect diction (she was a professor) and insists on wearing a dress always. These pictures just seem to reveal her character...she is so animated. Caro Zia! T'amoriamo!
Rob and Zia!
Me, Zia, Ghery, and Rob!
On the ferry to catch the train in Villa San Giovanni to Rome!
Ciao Italia!
