Ciao from Sicily! This evening we walked around a windy and chilly Castellammare del Golfo. Here’s the town’s castle up close. Inside is the municipal ethnographic museum. I loved seeing the antique tools and equipment they exhibit. For dinner, we ate at a Michelin rated inn where we ate house-made busiate pasta with swordfish, eggplant, tomatoes, and mint, followed by fresh mackerel fish. More tomorrow!
