Taormina

have been on Joanne and Roberto DeGuardiola's 153 fl fed ship "Audacia" since Thursday in the Aeorlen Islands.

Today we are in Taormina, Sicily. There is a film festival! Surprise, surprise. Bob DeNiro and Valentino are being honored tonight. Bob's recognition is for his body ofwork and Valentino's for his work on the female body.

Two boatloads ofnine Americans (Pepe and Emilia Fanjul are here too) are invited as Bob's guests (Thank you Peg for setting that one up.) to a vip cocktail party, the presentation at a Greek Amphitheater and a gala dinner at a seaside hotel.

More to come later.
