This is the Temple Concorde, the most intact of the ruins. Very nice to see at night. I'm making this update in the marina manager's office in San Leone, so gotta go for now. Today we sail to the south eastern tip of Sicily. Tomorrow we make the sail to Greece and the Greek islands. Ciao for now.
From San Leone, we rode up to the hill top town of Agrigiente and the Valley of the Temples. A spectacular set of ruins built by the Greeks around 500 BC. It's the largest set of Greek ruins outside of Athens. We did this tour at night - spectacular!
After sailing through LAtin America and the Caribbean, I never would have guessed that Sardinia and Sicily would be without internet - bongiorno! So we've got an abbreviated update for you and it will have to do until we land in Greece. We should be there by August 5 (or so). Caglieri, Sardinia was interesting, but Sicily is spectacular. We visited the south coast towns of Marsala, Sciacca and San Leone. We took some side tours as well. Here's Jenee in a mountain village north of Sciacca. It's only about 1100 years old.
