Charlie stole my camera.

Venus Castle, built atop the ruins of the the Temple of Venus.

After our little jaunt up to Erice we headed off to Agrigento. Arriving in yet another hilltop town, but this one meant navigating through streets that were a bit more of a challenge. At one point we were headed straight up a cobble stone street that was so narrow I had about two inches on either sides of my mirrors. I was holding my breath just hoping that no one would be coming from the other direction. Ahhhhh the adventures of traveling in Italy!

We did eventually find our hotel and decided to head down to the Greek Ruins and then to the Museum. The ruins were pretty impressive, but it was a bit too hot and we didn't have any water on hand.

I really enjoyed the museum. At one point Charlie and I got separated. I manage to meet one of the restorers from the museum and he whisked me about showing me the treasures he had worked on. We communicated as best we could, me with my broken Italian, him by acting out what he was saying. He got me a cool bottle of water, gave me a nice little souvenir and helped me locate my missing husband. Once again, the kindness of the Sicilians wins me over.
