Interview with Marco

Nadelina Wine Bar is directly below the apartment I live in, so I see Marco Martina (the owner) almost every day. After a week I realized he speaks English well and gets to see an interesting side of Cefalu. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night the wine bars on the street below our apartment…

Trying to do laundry

Laundry is something that I have been doing since middle school, and can say that I actually enjoy. However, doing laundry while in Cefalu has been a different experience.
