Caltabelotta!

A trip to Caltabelotta feels like a step back in time. As we navigated the Jeep thru the narrow and windy cobblestone streets on Sunday morning, I enjoyed watching a young, sturdy woman gingerly help an old Sicilian man out the front door. I assumed it was her grandfather. She placed a battered old wooden chair in the shade for him alongside the curb opposite their house. I imagine that this was his Sunday ritual to sit on that chair all day and watch those passing by – friends, neighbors and the occasional tourist.



The sweeping views, the handful of medieval structures still standing and even the ancient burial caves alongside the modern road signs made this such a worthwhile adventure!
