A Riddle
Sicilian country side
I think blogs are too one sided and since not many people are commenting, which is the fun part for us, I have made a riddle that needs to be solved for us to post again. Sounds fun, right?!
So here it is:
the Settlers are near this place
where Joe might not stand a chance
if you want more ore, there's plenty in this space
Where are we?

Trapani
It was a nice city to stay in for a day, plus they had couscous, which is one of my favorite.
First view of the Mediterranean
Teaching the boys how to get right up to the edge.
The amazing Mama with all the boys.
After seeing the streets we skipped naps and went straight to the hills.
So not knowing that there was a cable car to the top of the mountain,
I asked our hotel manager, "How often do the cars come that take the people to the top?"
His reply,"Every 10 seconds"
That was curious response, until I saw it.
Then I felt dumb.
Snack time
At the top is this amazing village and castle spanning many centuries and many different occupations. It's called Erice.
Read the bottom portion of the sign.
Apparently it is a big deal.
It feels like the mafia could control everything, quite easily.
Enjoying his first Italian gelato.
I am a wildflower kind of guy
The castle was Amazing!!!
This was a nerve racking photo for me, for there was a major drop off behind them
This was nerve racking for everyone else, for there was a major drop off in front of them
Zion day dreaming. One of his few moments of calm and stillness.
One thing I do have to say is that Italians LOVE babies. The kids, the teenagers(girls and boys), the old men, they all love the babies. This group of high school girls went crazy over Liam, like crazy screaming and wanting hold him. Pretty cool to see how they pour their love onto children.
A great first place to stay. Off to the next one.

An Unexpected Journey - Sicily
So it isn't that we didn't know where we were headed, but we didn't know exactly the process and the different stops along the way that we would take to arrive there. So we bought our tickets three days ago to Sicily, Italy.
From the moment we arrived at the airport we felt His favor. A man noticed us and rushed us to the front of the line (one benefit of having children). A whole row of seats together on a plane without assigned seats. A woman which whom Naphtali loved and wanted to hold him the whole time, two grandmas who where in love with him and a man whom he would try to play games with even though he was asleep.
As we exited the terminal a man was unexpectedly waiting with a sign with our names on it and drove us straight to the apartment. Wow!
