Just having some random thoughts about Sicilia so I thought I'd post some random images. The boy was caught in thought at the beach at Roccalumeria on Sicily's eastern coast just north of Taormina. The insalata caprese is anywhere but I must confess, it is from DA GIUSEPPE (me). My "thing" with trains continues. This image was somewhere in the Nebrodi Mountains.
Interior town of Cesaro` contrasts with the beach town of AciCastello which has its' place in Sicilian literature made famous by Giovanni Verga.

On The SS 289, returning from Sant'Agata di Mitello, one comes to Cesaro` situated high on a hill top with stunning views.
We stopped at the RISTORANTE NEBRODI MIRAGLIA and, thanks to Signor Miraglia, his daughter Sara, and his wife whom we did not meet, we had a really delicious pranzo typical of this region of Sicilia. The gentleman on the road back to Sant'Alessio kindly asked us to stop until the TRAFFIC had passed!

PIETRAPERZIA, in Enna province is one of those uniquely old hill towns overlooking the Valley of Himera where it is thought the original inhabitants of Sicily dwelled. The castle, built by the Arabs and modified by the Normans is now a ruin and an attraction not to missed as it offers a spectacular view of the valley and Caltanisetta. The town consists of an upper and lower part and there are many events there all during the summer.
