I'm on a boat, crossing the straight of Messina,
the body of water that separates Italy from Sicily. To many
it's just a watery obstacle, something that a boat has to do
to a train before they can continue on their way. To me right
now though, it marks the end of Sicily and the beginning of
Calabria and the rest of Italy.
What's next? What's happened so far? You can find out on the
bottom of the website, www.awaitingtab le.com (but I've had
some police trouble, met some fantastic people, discovered
some great new places and I tasted a lot of wine, just to mention
some highlights). And if you have any suggestions for hotels,
restaurants or cities in the rest of the south of Italy, or
just think that I should pay a visit to you uncle Jacopo and
taste his wine, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
I'd love to
hear from you.
