Once my Mom and Dad finally had Maggie and I off the budget and Seth well on his way to independence, they decided they wanted to fulfill their European dream in Sicily. They read books and listened to Italian language tapes. Unfortunately my Dad got sick soon after and they never made it over.
Therefore when my mom decided to make one last trip overseas to see us before we returned and Butch was unable to come, we decided to trek on down to Sicily to live the dream.
The plan was for us to go to the Western coast since it is supposed to be a bit more rugged and off the beaten path. We flew into Palermo and then drove to our country home in between the Zingaro Natural Reserve, Scopello, and Costellammare del Golfo.
From the beginning we had no real expectations and with every question, we responded "WE GOT TIME"!...
Our schedule was a follows:
Day 1: Drive to Frankfurt, pick up Mom, lunch at Apple Wine place in Frankfurt, fly to Palermo
Day 2: Breakfast in Scopello (amazing cappucino and sandwich!), market shopping, met guy from Brooklyn!, explore area, amazing pasta dinner at home
Day 3: Pick up Mom's luggage (lost!), lunch of fresh veggies and cheeses, go to Cous Cous festival in San Vito Capo (WOW jewelry)
Day 4: Palermo
Day 5: Segesto and Zingaro
Day 6: Scopello, beach, and Erice
