Grand Dei Templi Agrigento

On the eve of All Souls Day in Trapani, it is time to pray for the departed souls. In Trapani, where we saw as many as 4 medieval cathedrals in a section of the old city, the church bells began to toll at 7 PM. We heard drums being beaten, and wondered, is it a parade? Then we say a huge crowd of people, chanting , and ...

I took many pictures at the museum but i'm just going to upload a few pictures of the temples for your viewing pleasure as you wake up. Then i'm off to the beach for the evening.

... because it extends back so far.... Anyways, it was fun and crazy, just the way I like it. It was sad to leave this morning :( I missed the 9:30 bus so I hung out with my new freinds in their shop while I waited for the 2pm bus.

May 19 Yup, it's another scorcher today. 33 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, but thankfully there's a bit of a breeze to ...
