After Labor Day, the beach is "officially closed," as if this ever stopped anyone from taking a dip without the life guards on duty. Go, enjoy yourselves in which ever beach you find.

It's always the food
Yes indeed, it's always the food. What can I say. We Italians are absolutely obsessed with food and in Sicily we have the tastiest food in Italy. The fish, vegetables and cheeses are extraordinary. The bread is from heaven, the olive oil is superb and the restaurants are memorable. The two dishes shown here are from the Peccati di Gola restaurant located a short walk from our house. The owner is a Facebook friend and naturally was very friendly but he is very personable and amiable to all the costumers. we went on two different occasions and these dishes were what I ordered. One is fish couscous and the busiate pasta is with pesto trapanese. Both were delicious. Along with these we ordered mussels cooked in lemon juice. My wife had the prawns on both occasions. All dishes were outstanding and the prices reasonable. Not to be missed.

Scopello
I cannot go to Castellammare del Golfo without visiting Scopello. It is in the town's territory and only a short ride from my house. Although touristy, it is a very pleasant place to stay because it is not overdone. It is quite lovely and the view is spectacular. The colors are real.

Breezy Point on a late summer evening
It's hard to believe that this place is in Queens, NYC. During hurricane Sandy, it suffered much devastation but things are slowly returning to normal. These photo show the wide beach at sunset. All photos shot with the iPhone 6S Plus.
