When this blasted pandemic finally quiets, I want to spend a couple of weeks in Sicily, just exploring, eating, and photographing.

Your caption of Gorgeous view, hapahazard town is very apt. I actually went to the town hall to see if I could look any family up. A guy came up to us and (in Italian) asked what we were looking for. I explained in Italian that my grandfather was from there. He asked his name, and then took us to a restaurant which was empty and spoke to the manager(?) there in too fast Italian. Then the manager gets on his cellphone and calls someone. Then in English, the manager hands me the phone and says "He wants to talk to you". I wound up meeting a guy with same last name who is a 2nd cousin most likely. We talked and had some wine and then he had to go back to the office and we had to catch the boat.<br /><br />It is such a nice area, if I could go back with money I would develop an entire tourist resort destination there because of the ships and with Agrigento a short car ride away it would be amazing.BrunoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926519239504952931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-9693142827604291612018-12-24T21:50:26.012-08:002018-12-24T21:50:26.012-08:00Good website!

I was the first of my family to be born in the United States. I am wondering if you had the opportunity to visit the beautiful beaches (the lido, lido Rosello or Scala dei Turchi…a spectacular sight! Look it up. Thanks for sharing your tour. I miss it there. LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678405202473027577noreply@blogger.com
