Today… Oh, today. I apologize to my friends in New York. Yes, this was the absolutely perfect day we had in Sicily today at my favorite place to swim (If you follow me, you’ve seen this view from Capo Zafferano looking at Palermo before.).

In my opinion, the Tyrrhenian Sea this time of year is too chilly in which to swim for even those of us used to the Atlantic Ocean. Still, the air temperature was 68 degrees Fahrenheit with no wind. And, well, yes, it was perfect.

Important to note is that this is out of the ordinary weather for this time of year. In 2019, I arrived in Sicily on January 3, and there was snow in Palermo. Still, Sicily has so much to offer us at all times of the year.
