Today we took the 2 1/2 hour drive over to a town called Agrigento to see the Valley of the temples. It is a very large park with a lot of Greek structures. Some were still intact, but many were in rubble.
There was a very nice park area that we started to walk around, but noticed that it was getting very dark out and it started to thunder and lightning. Since we didn’t have an umbrella we thought we should leave. We started walking out and it started to rain very heavy. We got to the car and started the drive back. It was raining so hard we couldn’t see. So much for lunch in Agrigento.
We got home and warmed up and had some snacks. We then headed back up to Taormina for dinner. We had such a great experience at L’Ilcontro we were almost glad we missed lunch in Agrigento.
