We met our guide who took us around the “Valle dei Templi”. He was great- he spoke both in English and Spanish, so while he was translating we had time to walk around and take pictures. It was very neat to see all of the old temples. We could not walk inside the temples like in Selinute but it was still really neat. We saw the temple of Hercules which a British retired Navy commander turned archaeologist had re-built part of. We also walked across the street to the temple of Zeus- it was huge- bigger than a football stadium! It also had giant statues that used to hold up the temple and are currently at the museum in Agrigento (we did not get to go), but they had a copy they had done that we saw. As we left all the cars were honking and flying Italy flags because Italy had won the football game. On the way to the hotel we stopped at a store so Lucca could buy some clothes (his luggage has still not come!)
