At high noon we stopped in Palazzo Acreide and visited a few churches and marveled at the old, rustic balconies in the little streets...
Proud moment: My husband asking for directions! :-)
The main church was magnificent inside and out....
There were at least 4 chandeliers just like this one on each side of the nave... beautifully crafted glass!
High noon: Carlo talking to little old man in town square...
(left side of frame)...I love this shot!
Siesta time....
The peach granita we had in the little bar with the white awning was scrumptious and soooo refreshing!
We came across an ancient linen shop, which seemed to not have changed in at least 100 years. It was filled to the painted ceiling with linens, tablecloths, aprons, napkins, etc. The owner actually waved us inside and showed us proudly the original artwork on the ceiling.
One more beautifully restored church and a row of lovely colored houses.
The purple one being part of the local museum.
And we were off to the next town...
