erice photos!

two weeks later... finally, the photos i took in erice. it's a little town about an hour west of palermo, on the northwestern edge of the island. it's very medieval-y, and it feels more like umbria or other places in the north than it does sicily. a bit cold, a bit foggy, but a very cute place.

view from the hotel room

the trinacria, symbol of sicily, which i'm kind of obsessed with. the three legs symbolize the three points of the island.

fog

a cat pile

views!

this little item of graffiti reads: "crazy group from palermo, 9/30/09"

in the distance you can kind of see the islands off sicily's coast.. which ones these are i'm not exactly sure. but cool ones, for sure.

another view from the hotel room, later in the day with less fog

on the way home: scopello

the sign says this little property was confiscated from the mafia and is now owned by the town of Castellammare del Golfo (the town on the coast between Palermo and Trapani where my roommate Grazia's family lives!)

Yay photos. And there's more to come... Give me a day or two to get caught up. :)
