The B&B we stayed at in Agrigento brought us this amazing breakfast set up. It was a lot of food for girls who don't usually eat a big breakfast. We loved the pistachio filled croissonts and the fresh filled canoli's. Nothing like a little sugar high first thing in the morning!
On our drive to Trapani we took our time and stopped at a road side stand where an older lady was selling fruit. We bought a couple of oranges and another fruit called a cetro (pronounced "chet-ro"). It was a mild version of a lemon, but very refreshing in a tart kind of way.
On the drive we took a pit stop in Segesta. We shopped at a pottery shop and purchased a few pieces from a gentleman who was very nice and helpful. He recommended a restaurant his friend owned so we decided to check it out.
This place was tucked in a little alley way and was full of character. The waiter imformed us that there was no menu and only what was caught fresh that morning. There was a set menu of typical Sicilian food. There was some crazy things on that set menu, most of which I would not of ordered if it was my choice. But turned out it was fun to try new things and I really enjoyed them!
For the appetizer was: fried new fish (the whole fish), fish and oranges, baked baby fish (the whole fish!), and swordfish (backbone and all). I have to admit there were times that I gagged a little when I crunched down on the spine or bit down on the fishes head; but for the most part it was amazing food.
For the main dish we had a huge portion of fettuccine, mussels, big shrimp and fresh tomatoes. My mom on the other hand thought she was ordering pasta and shrimp, but when it came out it was a bunch of small squid. Her face was priceless! She was a brave soul and tried most of the meal with a smile on her face.
We arrived in Trapani when it was late, but we loved what we saw for our hotel room! It was right on the water and a good size for the four of us.
It was a beautiful night to walk around the city.
On the walkplatz there was a great wine/tapas bar. We must of sat there for hours enjoying yummy food and wine.
