My Trip to Sicily 2007
Agrigento Page Two!
Diana
& I were thrilled to see our names on this store, a profumeria (perfume
store.) We talked with him, but he is not related to our Marchese Familia.Owner
is on his cell phone (like here.)
Colorful
wildflowers blooming between the Temples of Agrigento.
Here
is a real cute passage way in the medieval town of Agrigento. I guess we would
call it a stairway alley.It was so beautiful seeing swallows flying all during
the day.In a hundred year old book I have,you can see the swallows there also.
Here
is a closer view of the same alter. We ran out of time to visit all of the chiesi.
The
inside of one of the many beautiful churches Agrigento.
This
was a very different Christian church. It was built on top of the remains of
a Greek Temple. The floor of the church was all thick glass. It made you step
very carefully.This is very common in all of Italy.
The
best part !! Pesce Spada ! Swordfish.What a FISH and a great picture. They were
cutting this fresh pesce and we were there ! It is Sicily's favorite fish !!
Well,
here we are eating the pico colazione (small breakfast) which is typical in
all Italy. This is at the Agrigento B&B.
Here
the handsome and gentile butchers are sawing this fish like a wooden log. We
asked who in town was serving their swordfish, and we ate dinner there.Buon
Appetito !!!
The 2nd best part !!! A great GELATO bar. Notice the
artistic way they display the gelato !! All sorts of flavors.
Note: Music by Quartet Gelato!!
Yes,
that is me really enjoying the treat !! That is just a single dip, un euro !!
This and Cannoli are a reason to COME TO SICIY.
