The streets were even more interesting

And, all deserted -- why you might ask on a Sunday afternoon?

Finally, we figured it out, everybody is at the BEACH!!!
Poster: taking care of the elderly This man shows us his shop & helps us find the only open restaurant in town Our happy host tells us most people thinks he looks like Mel Gibson --
we agree and call him Mel
Leaving the town we get a wonderful view and see the beautiful church we never found
On the way to Argrigento we pass some WWII Pill Boxes and a lovely bridge
