9/5
Today was mainly travel from Naxos to Palermo .
We started the trip with a visit to Agrigento temples Juno and Concordia. We drove through a Sicily, rich in beauty but poor economically. Sicilians are migrating or moving away in droves seeking better lives. People all over the region of southern Europe and northern Africa are moving. Only yesterday, boats carrying 5000 people arrived at Lambados for resettlement. No sign of navies, armies or generals turning them around, turning them back or distributing yellow boats.
The temples were well preserved and we had a great guide with the deepest, most mellifluous voice so far.
Mt Etna in the background.
We arrived at the Great Western Hotel in Palermo in time for a special dinner in the hotel. It is a lovely hotel and we have an OK room with the tiniest bathroom so far. One of us was concerned about the bed being made up of 2 single beds pushed together but still made up as 2 separate beds. The other of us was more concerned that the TV did not work and so asked for assistance, for the TV. Later that evening, when someone fell through the 2 beds, wished he had asked about the beds.
