The Sicilian version of Frogger...

   Our apartment in Castellammare del Golfo overlooks a busy intersection in the center of town.  Here is a video I took of the typical traffic we see every morning and late afternoon.  It is much quieter from about 2pm to 5pm during siesta....

    This photo shows the balcony of our apartment, where I recorded the video... It is right above a great little family run market.  "Mama" has a sister who lives in Brooklyn.  No, you can't make this stuff up!
