Two Legs and a Thigh, by Karen, while waiting in the airport in Palermo

6/30/2014

There is a Sicilian symbol with three legs called "triskelion"

It represents the three main areas of Sicily:  Messina, Milazzo,  Mt. Etna, Taormina area is One; Syracuse, Ragusa area is Two and the Trapani, Erice area is another (I think where the sing song-like dialect is too).  Given those three areas, we determined that we probably covered two legs and a thigh of Sicily!!  We did not travel much into the south eastern area, so that would be just the "thigh" of it!

We did feel that we certainly covered a good breadth of Sicily, getting a flavour of all it's variety of people, landscapes, history, and in the general 'feel" of it.  And all at a comfortable pace.  Don't get me wrong, it still feels like we caught only a glimpse of this area.  It's easy to just keep going!  That said, I am totally grateful to have shared this much, (only the beginning), of Deb's journey in Italy!

They're pomegranates and will turn ripe. When you get home, ask me to show you my photos of them in bloom. They're gorgeous!
Your photos are stunning. I wish I had taken all of them!
