Saretta, you would love it. Hi, Anne. Thanks for that description. It must have been lovely to see the altars for San Giuseppe. I agree: everyone should see Sicily! Hi, Phidelm. My pleasure. You would adore Agrigento, too. Hi, Anne. It was a fabulous day. Yes, it's a shame about the fish but there is much here to make up for it. Hi, KQ. Sorry it's rainy over there. Here it's really hot again today! WW. Yes, it's lovely in spring and there's also the almond festival there. Hi, Trubes. That's a painting on the home page of the Tamples site. There's a lot of info on Agrigento on Wikipedia and I'm going to try to get back there soon and post on it again. That first Ital meal of yours sounds exciting! I asked Simi what she thinks of horses and she said they are funny looking bow-wows! ~Hi, Lucia. Never mmind. You'll enjoy it more when you revisit Sicily as an adult, which I'm sure you will! Hi, Cherie and Ellee. It was a very special trip indeed.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-91355296233946295642009-08-27T15:53:53.824+02:002009-08-27T15:53:53.824+02:00It sounds like a very special day out with delicio...It sounds like a very special day out with delicious food and fantastic company.Ellee Seymourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647480320978146418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-25472822177339560632009-08-26T20:39:29.071+02:002009-08-26T20:39:29.071+02:00Ahh what wonderful day out that sounds and I love ...Ahh what wonderful day out that sounds and I love the pics.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-21381585805441916392009-08-26T15:41:29.929+02:002009-08-26T15:41:29.929+02:00I went to Agrigento when I was 5 and 11!

We took the train from Catania, changed trains at Caltalnesetta Xirbe. After Agrigento we took the train to Palermo. I love Sicily and most of all I love Sicilians. Everyone should visit Sicily at least once in their lifetime.I made 2 visits the same year.annechunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459169385864026846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-5424774203710611422009-08-26T02:31:26.224+02:002009-08-26T02:31:26.224+02:00What an amazing place!
