April 14- Agrigento

We had a wonderful breakfast in our B&B this morning. We l’est around 9:20 to meet our guide at the Valley of the Temples. OMG. What an amazing place. Greek temples dating back to the 6th century BC. Our guide, Laura, was awesome. We were educated by her for 4 hours. She is an archeologist by trade but makes a better living giving tours. Here are some pictures fo want we saw today,

Pegasus’ son, in Greek mythology, flew too close to the sun and melted his body.

We also visited a museum before grabbing lunch and driving out to the beach area.

Absolutely amazing views

Windy and not easy to walk down 

Ron picking up sneaker from the thick clay. 

We return around 6 pm. We need to return to our B&B as Ron needs to borrow André’s sandals and let his sneaker dry. 

We then walk to the best Gelato place in town. It is always busy here. We buy some and sit nearby. It is too full to sit inside. 

Coming out of the Gelataria 

We the walk back up past our B&B to the theatre area. There is a beautiful church there as well. 

Great narrow street 

Many steps that we did not ascend 

Thought that this was very unique

André, Wendy, and I had leftover pizza from last night for supper so we stopped by a little grocery store so Ron could buy a sandwich and we also bought a bottle of wine. We returned to our B&B, had our supper with lots of good laughs. Shirley also called us tonight using Facebook as Ron’s mom was visiting them. It was very nice to chat.

Good night. It will be another full day tomorrow as we leave Agrigento.
