Benvenuti Sciacca

Our friends, Jacque and Rob invited us for a weekend trip to the western side of Sicily. Early on the morning of June 15 we left Nicolosi for our adventure. We had our maps and Italian dictionary with us, for it's the best thing to do when traveling here or else you will be totally lost on their roads and lost in translation too.

We were told that in about three hours you can get to Sciacca, but five hours later we had wound our way there. We were lost along the way but we were glad to finally see the sign "Benvenuti Sciacca".

Maryellen, one of our friends here in Nicolosi hooked us up with Steve, an American who retired in Sciacca. He met us in town and brought us to his place for refreshing drinks.

After checking in to one of the "B & B " in town , took my power nap and we headed to the town port for a fabulous lunch.

The bed & breakfast place was just next door so after we settled our luggage we then went to the water for a swim.

Jacque and I are always fascinated with these big and nice pots. But this pot is just too big for us to carry home. So we just took picture of this huge pot.

It took a long walk to go around Sciacca, shopping for ceramics. Different store, different ceramics style, different color and beautiful artwork.

After ceramic shopping, we end up at the bar for gelato.
Hmmmm Yum!
