After a long journey to Agrigento, from Palermo, we went straight to the museum, a long walk in the sun. Consequently I struggled to get decent photographs with the light and was overwhelmed by the huge numbers of artefacts.
I did not get information for many of the photos I took, and often found relief in fragments of work rather than the whole pots many of which were superb. We had should have stayed there much longer, even a day would probably not do it justice.

Love how I got him way off the ground - this boy plays hard!
Oh jeas! Griffs used to be all over DFW but now only 3 remain. This was shot at the location in Irving and has been in operation since the 1940's. If your heart can take it...the food is good-n-greasy!
