Goat Man of Sicily

I found the Goat Man in Southeast Sicily near the village of Acate.

“Three hundred,” he said when I asked how many he had.

He lit a Pall Mall and we watched the animals prance across the road.

They weren’t fast enough for the Goat Man. He lost patience.

I climbed back into the car, watched the Goat Man wave around a stick, and continued on to Acate.
