A Good Deal ...Sometimes!

This zany contraption is the car wash in Sicily. The car stands still and the machine slides back and forth with bushy brushes and water and hot air....

Last time I was here, it cost 10 euro to wash and vacuum the Jeep. Today it was 15. I exchanged words with the car wash guy in Italian and I felt pretty sassy and proud when we settled on 12 (or so I thought). Turns out what he was saying was that he'd be finished cleaning the car at 12 - Noon.

Such is life in Sicily!

At any rate this car wash contraption looks like so much crazy fun, I wonder what he'd charge to let Rob and me enjoy a few shots of grappa and walk through the car wash in our bathing suits.
