After a wonderful couple of months back
in the UK visiting family and friends, we are now back in Licata. Thank
you so much to everyone!!!
On
February 3rd we flew back to Sicily with David who joined us for a
great two weeks. We took the opportunity to hire a car and explore parts
of the island we hadn't yet visited, mainly the western half.
The Valley of the Temples, Agrigento
We revisited the ruins near Agrigento that we had been to with Katy. An amazing place which is actually a ridge of temples, not a valley!
The old and the new! The temple in the foreground is about 2,500 years old. I wonder if the buildings in the background will last that long!
A beautiful spring day, almond blossom and fields of yellow flowers.
The remains of the huge capitals from the pillars at the Temple of Zeus.
Walking up towards the Temple of Concordia, the most complete temple on the ridge.
A modern bronze of Icarus in front of the Temple of Concordia.
David trying "arancina", a local speciality of rice, cheese, meat and peas coated in breadcrumbs and deep fried - a good lunch!
