On Tuesday, we rented
a car and set off for a short tour of Sicily Island. We drove first to
Agrigento to see the Valley of Temples. These are several Greek temples dating
back to 600BC. They are all now in a historic park setting. They are
magnificent to see and a few are still in great shape, given their age. We stayed overnight in a B&B and had a
very unusual experience with the owner. He was a strange guy, who talked way too
much and appeared in his 'jammies' at 9:30 at night to set the table for
breakfast. When we asked him if he was married, he said no, he was a
Cinderella. He was a real piece of work.
This is the Temple of Juno
That's the Temple of Concordia across the valley
These recesses are burial tombs
Temple of Concordia
It's in amazing shape after 2600+ years
Temple of Hercules
Most of it fell down and was partially restored
Wow, these pillars are heavy
The Temple of Concordia is so beautiful
Charlotte was standing in a strategic position of this bronze statue
Cinderella and his two ugly stepsisters (Not)!
