Agrigento Travel Blogs

After breakfast, all four departments embarked on a full day trip to Agrigento.  It was about a three-hour ride by coach from Ortigia.  The scenery along the ride was spectacular - similar in scale to Northern California, but with greater contrast.  Those of us who had gone out the n…
