On an ITT trip down to Noto to see the flower murals (unfortunately my camera died right after lunch) -- Don can remember his parents going there when he was in Sicily as a kid; Chris and I took an ITT trip to Noto the last year we were here (while Don was in Maryland) and now Don and I are finally getting to go .... Don sleeping in the back of the bus -- rough work week ....
...the entrance to La Trota Restaurant (the Trout Restaurant)...
... our guide, Alfina (both now and when Don and I were first stationed here )...
...a fish ponds the trout swim in outside the restaurant before they are used ...
...Don checking out the trout...
...the back of the restaurant ... the top level is even with the parking lot ...
..."Hi geese!" ....
... Don wandering around before lunch ...
.... funky looking eyes .....
.... one of the geese pulled at Don's pants ... guess he was too close ....
.... inside the restaurant ... it's actually a cavern ...
... Don's fish themed antipasta ....
... my meat themed antipasta .....
... my pork chop, sausage and potatoes ....
..... Don's fresh trout with garlic ......
.... ice cream with coffee sauce for dessert .....
... another view of the interior ... on one side of the room is a huge set of wine racks going from floor to ceiling and opposite the front door there is a huge fish tank with more trout swimming around .... the front wall is floor to ceiling windows over looking the fish ponds, geese pens, a small lake and all the grass ....
... good lunch, now it's off to Noto to check out the flower murals .....drats ... wish my camera hadn't died .... oh well, such is life...
