UP to Mistretta

Leaving the train station, we quickly discovered that our only means of transportation to Mistretta was an old school bus. We climbed on board, along with Italians bringing home chickens, vegetables, and pets, and began our journey along a winding, single-lane road to the mountain top where the town of Mistretta was located. Naturally, we were the center of attention on the bus ride and paranoia quickly set in. Every sideward glance or whispered tone, convinced us that everyone was talking about us.
