In late September and early October 2008, I traveled again to Scopello del Castellammare and Palermo.  I was able to spend a week in both locations.  Familiar with these locales, I totally immersed myself in the culture and the beauty of the land on this visit.  

 I sat by the sea, and found some quiet steps and church interiors in Palermo to paint my watercolors. 

 In Palermo, I also shopped at the exciting Ballaro and the Vucciria market.   My apartment was located in a local neighborhood, where nearby, I enjoyed meeting the residents and workers in the small shops.

On this voyage I also visited the majestic ancient site of Segesta, and took a breath taking cable car to the medieval mountain town of Erice.   The western town of San Vito lo Capo has a cous cous festival, the last week in September each year. It was a fun experience for my travel companions and myself.
