Wonderful images, Peter! Your travelogue keeps getting better and better - just
when the scenery and the structures get me relaxed and admiring, BHAM!,
something like “the drinking buddies” brings a big smile to my face. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter S.

Scopello is a lovely little town perched above the sea about an hour west of
Palermo. We were done with our organized tour, and staying in another town a
few kilometers east to "decompress." We hired a taxi, and spent a few hours
in Scopello, just wandering around.
In the town itself, much of the activity centers around the town square. Here
are a couple of drinking buddies at the local watering hole:

Within a couple of blocks, the views to the sea are spectacular:

And the views inland from the square aren't bad either:

Down at the sea is the "Tonnara," a cove housing a former tuna fishing port
and cannery that's existed in some form since the 1300s. It's now a private
beach. Just off shore are a group of sea stacks. Old defensive towers loom
above. Some guidebooks say it is a beautiful as Capri. I won't make
comparisons, but we loved it there.
