Italian roads are an adventure in themselves

If you think we drew this picture.........nope. We travel this road/intersection every day on our way to the base. Two ways go to the Autostrata (interstate), one goes to Catania, another to Motta, one to Caltegirone and who knows what else. (and WE thought the Michigan Left was a challenge ... lol). And .... just to make this a little interesting for the Sicialians ... there are huge flowering bushes blocking the view of crossing traffic at each inter-change. It's like going to the casino with your last dollar........ Oh, yes, at least three of these five (or six or seven) intersecting roads have the right of way, which ones is anyones guess.

It rained for a couple of hours here today. Oh, my goodness.

When it started we were on the road.......a small road leading from our new place toward Motta. The mud just glided (glid?) across the road and it was like driving on.............mud. Not fun. By the time we got back to the TLA (apartment) it was raining pretty hard. Here's what the street in front of our apartment looked like.
