Happy New Year!!
I never make New Year resolutions because I know that I will not keep them and feeling like a failure is definitely not a good way to start the new year. But this year I can say that my New Year's resolution is to travel! We got started a little early by doing a little sight seeing last weekend. We went to a town called <a href="http://www.eurotravelling.net/italy/agrigento/agrigento_history.htm">Argrigento</a>. It is known for having the most intact Greek ruins between here and Greece. The guide said that if you want to see Greece, come here. It was fantastic. Since I don't have my computer to post my own pictures, I am linking tourist info. The tour that we went on featured a dinner with Italian folk dancers after the tour of the temples. Once again, Seth was the star and actually got out on the floor dancing with them. This time, he was happy to be mobbed (to a point) which was good to see after the trauma we all suffered on the castle tour. I now understand why the superstars get so freaked by the photographers. The tour of the temples was awesome and very surreal. Hard to stand on <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~eby/agri.html">2600 year old ruins</a> and not feel insignificant. In the U.S., we simply don't have this history. I was wowed by 200 year old buildings. Pah, those are modern compared to what we saw. My favorite was the Temple of Concordia which started out as a pagan temple but was converted to a Christian church.
Don't forget to click on the words in my posts that are differently colored. These are websites that either give pictures or details about what I am talking about.
