Stuck in AL: The drink was an Amaro and it was served with warm roasted chestnuts. Our waiter brought it to us as a surprise before serving our espresso. It's very common to have a small glass of liquor after a large meal as a 'digestivo.' It was really good and the chestnuts were a nice surprise!

VeggieGirl: Thanks! I actually took about 150 photos, it was hard to decide which to share on here! Everywhere I go, everywhere I turn, there are photos opportunities here!

Shawnda: It was such a nice day. We kept pulling over on the side of the road to take in the views. Besides the beautiful views, It’s just so quiet and peaceful out in the country. The air smells great, the birds are chirping, it’s very relaxing.

Adriana: I wish everyone could experience it at least once!

Christy: Thanks! You should definitely take the trip if it’s at all possible

Cynthia: Thank you! Sometimes I am disappointed with the photos when I get home but this time around I think I managed to capture our true experience.

Meryl: Thanks! The experience of living here really changed a lot of things inside me. I will always be grateful that I had this opportunity.

Douglas: I hope you are able to return soon! We really only passed through Agira, stopping a few times to take in the views and snap some photos. The second photo down is one of the photos I took of the town. We continued on to Nicosia where we stopped for lunch and then took a quick drive to Sperlinga in the evening. The whole area is just beautiful!

Rowena: No problem! I know several people who don’t like Modica chocolate and honestly if I have the choice of real chocolate from Modica or a Ritter Sport bar, I’d probably reach for the latter 9 times out of 10! But I really do enjoy the Modica chocolate. Probably because it’s tied to the experiences I’ve had here

Nicole, thanks for leaving that comment at the blog. It always helps to get another perspective! I think I’ll have to pay a visit to Modica and experience chocolate while I’m there. I’m still trying to like the stuff but maybe on this it’s a no win situation.

Loved this post as it only serves to remind me that I’ll need to make a return visit to Sicily…someday!

My wife’s family is from Agira and we have been there twice now. Your pictures make me homesick, if that is possible with a place you have only visited twice. (SMILE)

I am thinking how nice it would be to be in Agira for the Presepio Vivante this Christmas. (dreaming)

Thanks for the pictures.

Wow, you have any amazing eye! Once again I love all of the photos, and am definitely thinking me and my husband need to take a trip!
