Time to go and explore some of the coastline and small villages of this beautiful island. I guess Islands are always more beautiful than the mainland, like Tasmania of the coast of Victoria or Corsica of the coast of France, Sicily is no exception, people are also different more insulated not really worry about the problems of the mainland. That’s not their problem…. The culture food and architecture is very diverse because of the influence of so many invaders over the centuries, the Romain, Sarrasins, Normans, Spanish to name a few all left their influence. And as a bonus I find a cousin I didn’t see for 68 years and we use to live few hundred meters apart….The first photo represent Sicily at it is best, beautiful and free….

Following the coast to Trapani and Marsala the most western point of Sicily Only about 150 ks from Tunisia

Calascibetta from a distance, where my cousin live, My cousin Marie Louise was 12 when I was born in Seurre, at 16 she went to Dijon to high school and then on to Chalon to do Nursing, took a job in Swisserland, meet her husband doctor from Calascibetta. the rest is history. Only came back to Seurre for funerals and wedding and of course i was in Australia.

The same table clothe we have in Seurre, it come from my grand mother on my father side. The B is incrusted in it.
I like the hot blonde on the back of the bike Mich!!
Michel, how nice for you to see your cousin after so many years, and to meet her family. She certainly bucked the trend: Sicilians left home to migrate all over the world – no doubt your cousin couldn’t resist the good Sicilian food and wine!!!
