The Alcantara Gorge originated when the water flow from the Monte Nebrodi, which flows towards the Ionian sea, was interrupted thousands of years ago by lava from Etna. The Alcantara eventually wore its way through the rock, which created the gorge. We met up with several friends and caravanned up to the gorge. We ate a picnic on the rocky shore then proceeded into the FREEZING shallow water. You may not believe the word “FREEZING,” but I’m telling you, after a few minutes in the water I could no longer feel my feet. Greg was hanging out with Brady and I was really hoping that once Juliette ventured into the water the temperature would deter her from going back in. I should have known better! That girl was falling in the water, laughing and splashing around. Most of the adults were sitting on the side and here Greg and I were chasing our children around unable to feel our feet! Swapping children from time to time, we ended up having a very enjoyable afternoon. Who needs feet anyways?!
Brady loves rocks!
