The weather today was unpredictable . It was raining heavily last night which is good for the 1) vegetation 2) to douse forest fires .

After breakfast , we decided to ask the manager at the front desk ( his family owns the Masseria La Chuisa )to see the old chapel in the Masseria.8

Talked to the manager / owner whose family owns the Masseria since 1840s . They have 150 hectares of land which is approximately 370 acres . He told me they plant olives, fruit trees ( figs, plums,   etc ) , have cows , hens, sheep & donkeys but without paying guests for the accomodation they offer, still would not be able to live entirely off the land .This is astounding to hear as I think running the Masseria probably have high operation costs.l The land is hilly and Sicilian farmers have began replacing olives with mangoes , which pays off . He told me he could not replace the olives because they get snow in winter & frost and mangoes need at least to have a temperature of  20c to be able to grow .

It was slightly drizzly so we drove to Castellammare del Golfo a seaside town. That was also nearby like a 50 minutes drive

Saw one person fishing and a couple bathing . Water must be cold though . We just spend 3 hours in this little town walking around . My calf muscles were sore so decided to drive home.
