This is Karen La Rosa, a dynamo in terms of her love for and endless efforts to promote Sicilia in every way possible. Her wonderful work and ideas are eloquently expresssed by visiting LaRosaworks on the net. Karen is also a member of the NEW YORK CHORAL SOCIETY and organized a three city tour of Sicily where they sang in Cefalu`, Montalbano Elicona and Catania.
 Below is a part of the 120 member chorus singing in Cefalu`

 MONTALBANO ELICONA is a charming town situated in Messina province a short distance from the actual city of Messina. It is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is an enjoyable place off the map where one can stroll the narrow alleys forgetting for a moment exactly where you are.

 The view west toward Cefalu` from Sant'Ambrogio which I hope to feature next time.

This is one of many galleries, as they are called,  on the way back from Montalbano toward Messina. They exist in many parts of the autostrada and are just fascinating to observe. Science and nature together make for so much of the beauty we often take for granted.
