Let's get lost in SW Sicily!

It was June 2007 and Rob and I reflected on our first year and half in Sicily. We'd been to Germany, Paris, Malta and even Pompei and Rome but not seen much of Sicily...outside of eastern Sicily.

It was time to explore Sicily's wild west and all the right stars were in alignment. Our friends Mike and Ann agreed to join us. Our friend Maryellen connected us with her friend Steve, a former New Yorker who retired in southwestern Sicily town of Sciacca, along the coast.

So off we went on a two-night, three day journey through the interior of Sicily to its western side!



Our 3-hour trip to Sciacca from Nicolosi took 5. We were lost and that's easy to do in Sicily!



Nothing like local champagne to celebrate the weekend on Steve's patio overlooking the Mediterranean!



It was here that we enjoyed our first forray into the Mediterranean....just steps from Steve's hale. Our very first swim at sea....and it was good! Not as good as the Pacific but good enough!
