Reggio di Calabria

The view from the kitchen balcony.  Sicily and the Strait of Messina beyond.

The two-seater Smart car.  Meet an Italian bus driver and tell me how smart it is.

The seashore.  Below is the upper deck of the promenade, below that the lower level.  It stretches over a mile in front of a strip of palm trees, grass, and the remnants of a Greek wall and a Roman bath.  Just beyond the people far in the background is a small beach.

Reggio from the air.
