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.

Musings Regarding the Teatro

My favorite part of the second field trip was our stop in Segesta, specifically the amphitheater.
