Germany Spring break

Tale of the trek to the top of il rock.

Once upon a time not long ago....some boys scaled a mountain in 20 minutes or so....

Sun was setting quick and we new the race to the top was gonna be sick.....

We ran to the top, through roman an Byzantine temples that could never be forgot(ten).

On the way up we scaled rock and encountered sheep an a sheepdog that made us stop...

Even though the k9 was mean we made it around in time.... to see the last minutes the sun shined.....

Caught a great view of cefalu then hung out on the top for a few.

On the way down we got brave and explored a cave...

Even though it was dark and old, but we still went into the hole....

down we went through the iron gate to see what lay in the cave even though it was getting late.
Spiro made owen jump with a loud yell, even though he was the one who was scared as hell.

When we got down there we found stalactites and stalagmites which was a cool sight.

The three dollar flashlight that we had did flicker and went out a few times before and after this picture....

Even though more lay ahead we decided to turn back before we all ended up dead.

Good times up down in cefalu maybe we'll get to go back soon.
