Erice

The Medieval mountain-top village of Erice was not among our more successful visits. Granted, we got there, but we did not stay very long, finding ourselves on a one-way alley through a labyrinth whose end was very uncertain. Especially in an RV. We should have parked at the RV/bus lot and walked the kilometer up-hill. But we thought there was a higher car-park we could find, and by the time we had passed it, if it exists, we were committed. We stopped at the top, by the castle ruins, I reconned on foot, and we boldly headed back down, every twist and turn a drama. The exit through the gate in the old wall was a special thrill. When will we learn?!

But first, heading out of Palermo, we stopped at the Auchan at the beautiful
Poseidon shopping center

Right on the sea: Spain out there, hundreds of miles...

Auchan's pretty much our favorite French supermercado

Somehow, Vicki directing traffic, we got through the gate;
