When we arrived in the late afternoon at the UNESCO site we discovered that dogs which walk on their own feet (as opposed to being carried in a purse, say) were not allowed to enter. There being not a lick of shade, except at the entrance, Christopher took one for the team and waited with the dog while I did a whirl wind whip around of the sight. In essence it is a wreck of a building the size of a small shopping mall with some nice tile work! Happily for me some recent renovations replaced the glass house roofs with shady wooden ones as I was already wilting from the short walk to the building. The sight is amazing and I'm glad there was only one bus tour full of folks there at the same time. I was able to take some really fine photos which I'll share with you here as our internet connection permits.
Without a good map it was a bit hair raising trying to find this, "most visited tourist sight in Sicily". We overshot the turn once and had to turn around once we realized we'd gone too far. Road signs are few and far between and not always self explanatory, at least to us Canadians.
