Sicily is on my list of places to see.

Go to Erice on the Western edge. Be sure to get a really good map, and go up the back side from the North East. Climbing up from the West is a b*tch.

BTW - I did not find Sicily "Impoverished" as the article claimed. Palermo was lovely. The countryside was sparsely populated but not ramshackle. The wine was excellent.

Sicily is loud, dirty and the Vespas will run you over in a heartbeat. The roadsides are full of trash.

The people are friendly, passionate, beautiful and the food is out of this world.

Recently I was in the water on the beaches of Teramino (sp?) and it was so clear I could see my toes in the water and the "toe" of the boot of Italy. The water was cool and refreshing. One of my favorite moments ever.

I can't wait to go back!

[Larry Lucido]

Me too.
