One last dinner as a group, a few drinks at La Galleria bar tonight then the last morning; un caffe e cornetto (vuoto!) and a last lunch at the Pizzaria on the lungomare...the last studio day was spent frantically trying to finish, then I thought the work will be better if I don't rush, and so what that I did not complete it in Cefalu'?. The studio is cleaned, but will never be the same as there is no doubt countless shards of colorful glass smalti throughout...no matter, next year there will be even more. The final crit by Martin was helpful though could have been more critical...ie he gave lots of positive comments, but not many suggestions for improvement. I saw the whole group off in the afternoon then a much needed nap, some interntet time and finished packing. Thursday I was up very early for a last caffe e cornetto and a hike up to La rocca and to see the Temple of Diana...I ran into Massimo (from the Alimentari) and he insisted I join him for another caffe..very handsome, really friendly and with long curly eyelashes!! So 1/2 hour of virtual vertical climbing, some steps cut into the rocks, I am on top of La Rocca with the most spectaclar view of the bay with a 3-masted ship, a birds eye view of Cefalu' and the crystal clear waters below..the sun was just cresting over the top of the rock. It was peacful and perfectly quiet other than the birds chirpping...a perfect addio to Cefalu'.....back down, cab to the train station.. .Cefalu' to Messina, Messina to Taromina and... Sebastiano Alibrandi :-)
