Leaving My Sicilian Relatives In The Dust

This statue is dedicated to a distant Sicilian relative of mine.

MedTrekking today from Balestrate, a town on Sicily’s Gulf of Castellammare named after a very distant relative of mine, towards the glorious looking Cape of San Vito.

That’s the cape as seen from Balestrate this morning after I had a last cappuccino with the family.

About Joel

Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
