Re: On the night train from Sicily

Ron B. ·
A number of years ago, after staying in Taormina, we took that train during the day from Catania to Rome. It was fascinating watching as the train cars moved onto the ship. We were able to be on deck as the ship crossed the strait. But, other than that, the trip was a bloody bore. We took the train because I thought we'd see the Italian countryside. Ha-ha.
