SICILY PETRALIA SOPRANA (EVENING) APRIL 28

We were all glad to be on our way to the hotel. Especially Evelyn who had taken a tumble this afternoon. Our Hotel, Residenza Petra, did not disappoint. A beautiful renovated building right in the centre of this picturesque hill town. Rooms in a word were "lovely".



Before dinner Tom took us on a short walk around the town















Another enjoyable dinner at the Ristorante Lu Carme. This time apart from the usual delicious antipasto and pasta we had a tasty dish of sausages and potatoes served in a delightful sauce. Fruit made up the final course.


Mary dressed for Sausages





Before calling it a night we walked around another part of the town. It was delightful!











Location: 90026 Petralia Soprana PA, Italy

The Restaurant's Chef was Tom's cousin and we were treated to a superb classic Italian 4 course meal with generous amounts of Vino.
