The food in all the markets looks so good!!
The kitties were strays and very wary of people, but I think these ones are very well looked after by SO's aunt.

Re: A Month in Bella Italia
For our last afternoon, we went to Agrigento. On the way, SO's aunt stopped in the village next to Santa Elisabetta, Raffadali, to show us a street with our surname. 
Agrigento is on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean. Looking at it from afar it's not a very attractive city, but once you start walking around there are some very pretty places, and we enjoyed walking around for a couple of hours.
We went to a restaurant in Raffadali for a dinner, which was most enjoyable.

After all Agrigento is a tourist place, so it has to keep up to certain standards. Like all this kind of places avoiding the suburbs is better

That's for sure!! Just about every third person we saw in the village had our surname but weren't related!

Nice food, I love pasta!

Why are there cages around the churchbells?
