Agrigento...the Valley of the Temples

At one time the fourth-largest city in the known world, Agrigento, or Akragas as it was then known, is home to Sicily's most impressive Greek ruins. Situated about 3km below the modern city, the Unesco-listed Valley of the Temples is one of the most mesmerizing sites in the Mediterranean, boasting the best-preserved Doric temples outside Greece. 

This was our third trip to see the temples...and it was every bit as amazing as the others.  Luckily, the weather this time was much better than last year ... we have more pictures available on our past blog: homegirlchris2.blogspot.com.

This time, Joe did a video that you can access here...it's about 2 minutes long and is well worth a visit.... if the link isn't visible, hover your cursor in the space below and it should appear.....make sure to turn on your sound !
