Ben and I went to Selinunte on Tuesday with our friend Sue. We spent 8 hrs. sightseeing, getting lost in Mazara Del Vallo, seeing 1,000 year old trees and finding a wonderful beach spot in Selinunte! Sue is a lot of fun to go adventuring with. We kept Ben entertained as we tried to find new places to see and then had to find our way out of Mazara Del Vallo. Let's just say that Little Miss GPS doesn't always understand what some Sicilian streets and towns are like as she belts out her directions and then gets annoyed and has to "recalculate!".
On our way into Selinunte we saw this painted Fiat and had to turn around to take pictures. It sat in front of a ceramic shop. Aren't the colors great? A real burst of sunshine!! Wouldn't it be fun to drive around in this car?
The ruins at Selinunte are incredible and what a beautiful setting. Wide, open close to the Mediterranean Sea.
We went through Mazara Del Vallo on our way home. We stopped and Sue showed us some trees that are 1,000 years old! Wow!! I'm not sure what their name is but the trunks are huge.
Enjoy the new pictures on my PhotoStream. This was the first time since being here that Ben was ok with me taking pics of him so I took advantage of that! One of my favorite things to take pictures of is flowers and I did get sidetracked from the ruins several times because the flowers are so pretty right now. I just can't help myself..............
Blessings to you!
Jan once again your photography blows me away. Such clarity and attention to detail. You have a gift in capturing the scenery. I so loved these photos. I am so glad you "couldn't help yourself" in taking photos of the beautiful flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you must have had. And a beautiful one at that!
I am amazed how grown up Ben looks.
Once again though you aren't in the pictures! Give someone your camera and get in the pictures! :)
I love you girl!
