It's hard to remember what town we were even in this morning it seems like so long ago! ~Britt - where were we this morning?~ Oh Yeah.. Agrigento! We started out early heading east for Siracuse but had to make a screeching halt detour when we saw the Mediterranean. After a sharp right turn and a few little back roads Britt was waist deep in the absolutely beautiful crystal clear blue warm water.
After shaking the sand and salt off our feet, we drove and wove our way up incredible mountain roads and found ourselves perched in the sky at the same level as an airplane that was flying a few hundred feet away from us as we all were about 3,000 feet (1,300 meters) above sea level. (Eighth picture in the shots below) But the most dramatic pause in our day was when we turned a mountain corner and were presented with the Town of Modica. ~Unbelieve...~ (Header photo). We stared at it. We stared at each other. We stared at it again. We made another screeching right turn up a steep little road and found a spot to park the car to get out and stare at it some more! The whole town was perched, climbing, from the valley below straight to the top of the mountain that was at equal level in front of our eyes! It was hard to believe that it was real!
Once we could remove ourselves from the view we followed the coastline over to Siracuse; where we are tucked in for the night, drinking Sicilian wine and eating Sicilian olives.
