Love the pictures and I love that you’re exploring. I feel like I’m there too!!

After living in Arizona, I find it so weird to see cactus other places – especially Italy and Sicily – I had NO idea you had them over there!

I was pretty surprised the first time I saw them here myself–and yes, we have ‘em in Calabria too

What beautiful pictures!!!! I miss Sicily so much. I wish I could go back it’s been 24 years. I was 18 and that was a summer I’ll never forget.
Now, I’m raising my daughter and we work hard just to keep up with the JONESES! One day…I still have Sicily in my dreams.

The pictures are great; I particularly liked the ones of the columns, as the columns themselves are clearly, visibly brick/stone mortared together, which means at some point they were probably faced with something, to save a bit of money (unlike, say, the Pantheon, which has enormous monolithic granite columns that were brought from Egypt, or even Taormina, which I think has marble drums forming the columns). Which also indicates that even back in the day, this was a relatively small outpost. So, so, so cool. Thanks for sharing the pictures; I love nerding out thinking about things like that. Sorry to drone.
