Valentine's Day is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other but we decided to stretch the definition a bit and make it a day where we celebrate our closest friendships.
And what better way to do this than with an adventure trip! We booked rooms at the Castello San Marco near Taormina in Sicily and as there were so many of us Opus had to fly us down in the Magic Flying Van in two trips!
Here you see the first group (Stella, Stanley, Asta, Lacie, Charbybdis, Momo, Socks, Scylla) waiting for the arrival of the second (Ruis, Karl, Opus and Sassy), who were working at the Little Production Studios late.

Then we just relaxed a bit. Here are Momo, Sassy and Asta in their fabulous room.

To ensure a quiet lunch with just the two of us Ruis and I had gotten tickets for all the others for a surprise trip to Mount Etna!
They found Sassy very close to the lava flow high up on Mount Etna and all got back safely in time for a little excursion through Taormina where we joined them again after our romantic lunch just for the two of us!
Here we are all together again at the theater in Taormina.
The evening we spent at the castle, having a wonderful Valentine's Party!

What an amazing trip! I think you're right, that Valentine's Day is definitely a day to celebrate ALL special friendships.
What a party! WHAT A PARTY! Asta sure know how to put a good one on. It was so much fun all being together again! I can not help but notice you are Ruis didn't go with us to the lava thingie, you two will do anything to get alone time won't you, ha, ha, ha. Almost got lost I did but found my way back. Love to you on Valentine's!
Looks like it was a blast! Happy Valentines!
Buon san valentino! I am late, but what can you do? HUMANS! The photo is up! You are gonna laugh when you see it! hehehehe! Didn't have as much time to post as much as I would have liked. Will work on it some more tomorrow (and make a better photo) but at least the mystery date now has a face and name! Hehehehhe!
Much love,
Opus, your bestestman
That was a wonderful Valentine's adventure all of you had :-D
What a terrific way to celebrate Valentine's Day! We felt like we were right there with you! (And, YIKES, we're glad they got Sassy away from that lava!)
What a great trip - I miss going on all of those great adventures with you all, but I am getting old and move a bit slowly for the fast gang (too slowly, I fear, as some of them don't stop by to see me anymore). Happy belated Valentine's Day, though, Karl and Ruis and Tintin! As Always, you look to have been the coolest cats in the neighbourhood on your Sicilian adventure!
