When Shannon and I got back from the US we had to jump right back into our lives, in fact 
Shannon had to work the next day. Over Veterans Day weekend we took an easy honeymoon to the west side of Sicily where we had not explored yet.On Friday we drove to Castel di Tusa and stayed at the Atelier sul Mare hotel. The hotel is famous because it is supposed to be a kind of museum. (Click here to view a CNN story on the hotel) The hotel is right off the Tyrrhenian Sea and each of the rooms are designed by an Italian artist. The room we stayed in was called “The Picture Room”, I don’t know why, and overlooked the sea. We stayed at the Atelier sul Mare for two nights and explored the area and the medieval town of Cefalu.
On Sunday we drove West along the coat to Palermo. We spent a couple of days eating well and being tourists. We took a walking tour visiting the Duomo and other fancy Churches, we took a tour of a “typical” Nobel family’s Palace and enjoyed the architecture. On Tuesday we stopped at the catacombs for the rich people of a different time. It was neat and creepy just like a good catacomb should be.
