Southern Secrets, Days 7 & 8: Gold and Sapphire in Sicily

Live from Sicily! Southern Secrets, Days 7 & 8 Experience Sicily and Feast on History: Gold and Sapphire in Sicily. Yesterday, along with the models from Dolce & Gabbana (during their photo shoot in anticipation of today’s big fashion show), we gazed at the golden Temple of Concord at Valley of the Temples. But they didn’t have ancient cuisine for lunch like we did with Phoenicians ArcheoCuisine at Doric Bed after our visit with the gods!

On the way back to Scopello, Michele at Agriturismo Case di Latomie olive farm (after our oil tasting) picked us fresh figs off of the tree, which we devoured. Today’s boat excursion with Mario on the Catamarano Lionel Richie was full of joy: sapphire water, disco dancing, and golden rays of sun.
