“Man from Taormina”<\/h1>\n

\u00a0Taormina is a town in Sicily, about halfway up a mountain. There are plenty of buses that make the trip, but knowing which ones go where can sometimes get you stuck. We came down the steps twice, the second time well after dark. Very fun, but I wouldn\u2019t recommend going up them. We counted 1,324. Anyway, I digress. At the top of the steps, and central to the town, people gather in the plaza to have a view of Mount Etna. This man was seated on a sculpted marble bench. It was a cool morning and he was dressed to stay warm.<\/p>\n

\"teaksouls\" is a word that John and Cindy coined to represent themselves as they moved aboard their live-aboard sailboat loaded with teak (their dream from the start of their togetherness). Many boats have teak soles (floors), but theirs had the two of them, and they both love teak, so .... there you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

teaksouls.com began as the story of the adventure of John and Cindy aboard Alexandra, their Slocum 43 sailboat that became their home for a ten year stretch. If you are interested in what life aboard a sailboat is like, visit the original teaksouls.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
