Valley Of Temples

1998

Make sure you see both sides of the road – if time absolutely precludes that, see the east side.

I visited here. My pilgrimage was to the home of Pirandello, but it was closed…in a spectacular moment of silliness, I hitched a ride on the back of moped, thankully my random guide was surprisingly nice, and fetched fresh almonds and carob from the trees among the temples. also a prickly pear, we crouched behind a wall and sliced up bits with my knife…. i can’t believe i went to the valley of the temples for dinner… it may be a little better organized than it was, typical sicilian casualness, stumbled around among the ruins picking up and feeling chunks of stone.
