Piazza sign
No boring signs to mark street names or the name of the piazza (square) here ...
This one has a base of lava and is painted with the town insignia.

Rail ties
Such character in the rail ties on this section of the tracks .... I love the cracks and swirls in this rail tie.
The metal rails have long since disappeared.

Hiking on the train tracks

Abandoned api
An "api" is a commonly found mode of transportation here in Sicily. Think of a small (very small) one or two person truck with an engine about the size of one on a motorcycle (not one of the big motorcycles .... just an everyday, run-about motorcycle). The word "api" in Italian means "bees" .... quite apt since it's engine hums as it goes along its way.
These are found everywhere ... produce sellers fill the back and travel the streets of the towns advertising their wares, repairmen visit their clients ... apis crowd the streets of many Sicilian towns.

Overlooking Aci Reale
DH and I have gotten back into geocaching lately ... gets us out of the apartment and encourages us to explore areas we would otherwise miss.
This is looking down on the northern outskirts of the town of Aci Reale, on the eastern coast of Sicily.
Starting over .... welcome to Bella Belpasso
For the last month, Blogspot has not been able to link my blogspot album to Belpasso and Beyond.... I admit defeat and have started a new blog.
Welcome to Bella Belpasso, my current home in sunny Sicily.
