Not all our time with Anna and Edmund was looking at old things. We spent three
evenings in Ortygia, which is the original settlement of Syracuse. Ortygia is located
on a small island to the south of Syracuse. We would take a five to seven minute taxi
rides each way and had what I tasted as very good meals.
Anna volunteered to introduce Nancy and me to several desserts and drinks –
sometimes in the late afternoon and others after dinner. I don’t remember the
names of the desserts but I do remember what they look like and have continued to
order when I see them in a pastry case.
Our drinks and the free bar food. This was at the small café shop next to the
entrance to our hotel.
