We went to a city in Sicily called Agrigento that apparently has the most intact ancient Greek temples on earth. As we stood in front of the ruins, Robyn said, "This is what happens when you don't clean your house." There are Greek temples there from 550 BC.
We went to the hometown of Archimedes: Siracuse. We drove across most of the island of Sicily and saw a freeway that collapsed after only being open for 19 days. People told us it was due to graft and buying off inspectors. I sent photos to my nephew who works for UDOT. They thought it was fascinating. Below are photos of the finished, 93 Billion Euro raised freeway from about 8 years ago, and a photo Robyn took out of the car window as we drove along the replacement highway.
