Yesterday we took a tour to Agrigento which is a city located on the southern coast of Sicily. This city is known for the Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temple). The temples date back to the B.C. era. We saw the Temple of Juno, Temple of Concordia, and the Temple of Heracles. It was amazing to see these temples because I studied them in Art History. Braydon loved the area because he was able to run around (it's closed off to cars) and pickup rocks. After we visited the temples we headed to the Bagliesi vineyard. We sat in the room that houses the wines as they ferment and chill. We had a ton of different little appetizers and several wines. I purchased a box of four wines (2 whites and 2 Nero d'Avola) Nero d'Avola is a read wine typical to Sicily. This was a great day, even though Braydon only slept for 15 mins the whole entire day.
