The real surprise for both of us was how beautiful Termini Imerese turned out to be.  Yes, it is an old city.  It actually dates back over 2000 years. But most of that is gone. What remains is an old world Sicilian town that definitely has its 21st century feel. The mountains that surround it are beautiful and the coast line of the Mediterranean (actually called the Tyrrhenian sea at the northern coast of Sicily) is breathtaking.  The people were warm and friendly. Most spoke very little, if any, English. But we got by.
