TRAPANI |
This province is on the western side of Sicily, and the town is where one would normally take the ferry to Tunisia. Apart from that, the town is not that special. For Italian non-Sicilian speakers, this province has the clearest accent in Sicily, and the people are down-to-earth and friendly. Their driving habits are a different story, however. |

Segesta, an ancient Greek site in between Trapani and Palermo. The temple we see here has no roof (lucky they don’t get snow here!), but it’s the second largest temple still standing in Sicily, behind the one in Agrigento, which unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to :( |

Here we see a Sicilian landscape. Notice the semi-arid land, the winding highway (which is flat and smooth, unlike other countries…..) and the coast in the background. The picture doesn’t give good detail, but one would normally find olive orchards, vineyards and prickly pears when going through the Italian countryside…. |

Tre Fontane, or three fountains, the parents’ hometown of a good friend of mine. Small, quaint with an unpolluted beach….and no fountains! I drove here from Agrigento, and on the highway, there are two towns where many Montrealers come from : Cattolica Eraclea and Siculiana. |
