Agrigento, Sicilia (Italy)

[not scheduled] I would recommend a trip to Agrigento to anyone who ever dreamed of seeing the Parthenon and couldn't go to Greece. The "Valley of the Temples" (not sure why it's called that, since you are standing at the top of a huge hill when you are there) is probably the best example of Greek architecture assembled anywhere - at least that I have seen. Erik and I visited the city museum, as well, which has some great history to put everything in perspective...  [Later, we drove back to the base.  Staying at the NAS Sigonella Bachelor Housing.]
