Beautiful San Vito Lo Capo

I love the color and texture of this building against the blue sky.....

Saturday we went to San Vito Lo Capo with friends. The weather was warm but there was a nice breeze on the beach. The water is so beautiful in San Vito :) I will miss that when we go home in a couple weeks. ( It's so hard to believe we only have about 2 weeks until we go home! What an experience it has been!! )

We rented 4 wheel bicycles and rode around town window shopping. We did some real shopping too. We asked the owner at one store if she knew where the olive wood store was. She said she sold items made from olive wood but usually brought them to the shop after 6pm. We told her we were from Marsala and so she called her husband and 15 minutes later he brought in 2 boxes with olive wood items for us to look at. We bought enough between the 3 of us to make it worth her while!

I fell in love with the olive trees here in Sicily as soon as I saw my first one:) The wood has beautiful grains in it. Here's what I bought....



Thursday I'll have a chance to buy more olive wood items from another lady in the area who has a really nice selection.

Ben enjoyed getting in the water Saturday at San Vito as always!!

DJ and I walked to Mail Boxes Ect. this morning and bought bubble wrap and some boxes so we can start packing. Some things like my white china made here in Italy will be shipped home. I don't want to take chances with it bubble wrapped in a suitcase!

The girls are doing well back in the States. They are actually in Mexico right now with their youth group from church on a mission trip. They are building a parsonage for the pastor of a church and doing Vacation Bible School for the local kids. This is their 3rd year of going to Mexico and they love it!

Well, just wanted to say hi and share more pictures :) Take a moment this week to count your many blessings! No matter what's going on in your life there are ALWAYS blessings to be found....sometimes tucked here and there and often right in front of us!! :)
