Driving down from Erice once again gave us perspective about how high the town is. Our friend. Mary warned us, "don't fall off Erice! It's been done!" Yikes, can certainly see how that could happen. Such a unique town, we were delighted to spend time there. On our way down, we headed towards San Vito di Capo.
Anyway, we found ourselves in another forest of imagery, all the way to the Capo and around to the east coast of the cape, to one of the entrances of the Riservo Dello Zingaro. Beautiful vistas of the aqua blue sea against the reds and greens and greys of the massive rocky landscape. We made it back around to Scopello where we would stay for a few days and also where Deb will swap one traveler for another (Karen to Keith).
Before getting to the apartment rented to us by a very friendly Sicilian architect named Dario and his family, we found a B&B high up in the hills, a great view of Scopello below. It as a nice treat and then ended the days in Scopello at the apartment which was on the water. So we had the best of both Scopello worlds!
Being on the water gave us a chance to swim, with snorkeling gear, and soak in the salt water of Golfo de Castellomare (between the Tyrenian sea and the Mediteranean.). A wonderful market was across the road, where we could get fruit, water, wine, olives ... you know, all the delicious local Sicilian food.
NOTE: The wireless is TOO SLOW to allow posting of pictures. Once I get to Palermo I will try again - in the meantime, I will post the text.
