Sicily: San Vito lo Capo and more

The next day, we planned to drive to the East of Trapani to visit the beach at San Vito lo Capo. There were maybe 8 other people on the whole beach; it was amazing!  The water was blue, the sand was white, and the kids had a great time. I can imagine that in the summer, this place would be packed; it seemed like the perfect place to go swimming...shallow clear water and soft sand.

 Susannah's not so sure about the sand...

 No people on the beach means Luke was free to throw sand into the water!

 Some toys went into the water, so Norah took one for the team and went in and saved them!  Then, she took a run along the beach. 

 Luke + Sand = Happiness

 After hanging out in the beach for a while, we decided to go to a town called Castellammare del Golfo, to see a castle near the sea which is supposed to be impressive and also to have lunch. Well, the lunch was pretty good, but the castle was nothing to write home about. After lunch, we drove South to a place where we could go swimming in a pool heated by a hot spring. The place was a little dingy, but the water was really warm, and the kids had a lot of fun swimming!!

This dog was pretty friendly and wouldn't let the kids out of its sight. This of course prompted Norah to start asking for a dog of our own!
