    Highly recommended. If your idea of travel is to spend all day getting pics for Instagram, keep moving. But if you are interested at all in history, culture, or if you have any interest in Sicily and Italy, this is a must. Linda is an impassioned storyteller and antimafia activist. She is fascinating and her stories are spellbinding.
