Island Hopping 2024: Giarratana, Showing the town to Glenn and Sue, Return to the Grotto

Tuesday April 23:  Today Glenn and Sue opted to stay closer to home.  That’s OK, we know how to have a good time in Giarratana, a little town, that never lets us down.  

As always, we started at the café, walked to the three churches and then throughout the town, stopped at two meat shops,  two very small grocery stores and then back to the AirBnB.  

There are many rose plants throughout Giarratana

A pretty building

After a bit of relaxation, we headed out to the Grotta dei Santi.  I hope Glenn and Sue enjoyed it as much as I do.  If nothing else it was a nice walk in the country, no longer doubting ourselves as to where we would find the grotto.  Then a quick stop in town for some gelato.

We ended the day with a nice pasta dinner that Glenn and Sue prepared for us.
