Ciao,
This morning we departed from our hotel to attend a beautiful and private mass at the Church of Saint Nicholas which overlooked the entire city of Agrigento. Following our mass we went to the Museum of the Valley of the Temples next store to view some very old pottery. Then we went to the Valley of the Temples where we viewed 7 ruins of Greek temples, they were absolutely beautiful and encouraged thought about the importance of Greek influence on Christian culture. All of this was before noon! We then hopped back into our little bus for a two hour drive to Palermo, the capital of Sicily. Here we were given a two hour break to shop and then were taken to the hotel where we now await dinner and night activities. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we are enjoying our adventures!
