Mediterranean Sea at Last with a Not So Nice Ending

So, this was written on July the 27th:
Yesterday we finally had the opportunity to go to the beach! I say ‘finally’ even though it was only our second full day because I had envisioned getting off the plane and jumping straight in the sea. I should have done more research than “Catania is a city by the sea, excellent!” Turns out its mostly a port, no Barcelona style beach on my door step after all. So much for swimming everyday before brealfast! Its not all bad though, there are ways of getting on the sea from here, only they all involve getting public transport from what I’ve heard.

Anyway, lets get back to the good news!
