Travel Review: Italy Tour, Sicily, History, Culture, Food & Wine, Art Tours

We had a day in the Sicilian countryside where we got to see the old fashioned way the olives were removed from the tree, meet and talk with a cheese maker and taste the product, meet and talk with a baker and taste the product, and have lunch in an agriturismo and talk with the owner.  During that day our driver-guide  willingly stopped the vehicle so I could take photos, and even began to point out things for me to photograph.  We ended the day eating dinner outside looking out at an ancient temple illuminated against the darkened sky.  I was a day that said, "this is Sicily... ancient and modern."
