Enthralled by Sicily, Again
Great essay, and an enjoyable slide show of photos.
Wonderful things await the unafraid.

Re: Enthralled by Sicily, Again
Sicily is perhaps the most conquered island in history. Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Vandals, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, French, Neapolitans, and finely the British and Americans.
And each conqueror contributed something; food, literature, legend, etc to present day Sicily.
The eastern part of the island most reflects it's period of Greek colonization.
Some great ruins still exist there.
Syracuse is a particularly charming city
