Selinunte Archaeological Park

What I really love about the school of ceramics in Sicily is that it's not only about seating behind the potters wheel for a couple of weeks, but it's also about getting to know the culture and spending time together as a group. Last year, we went to Segesta and I was expecting the same this year as the rest of the program was more less the same, so I was surprised when our driver took us to Selinunte.

He told us that our drive would take about 20 minutes which I knew already would be much longer as it was not my first time with this driver. I'm getting motion sick unless I or my husband are driving, and I know how this driver drives, so I was dreading this trip. Oh, and I can't forget the roads in Sicily as they don't add to my car well-being at all. Either way, my 'classmates' knew my condition and let me sit in front next to the driver which helped me to survive this trip without getting nauseous. That was cool as otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the archaeological park at all.

When we arrived I was surprised by the size of the park. I thought that Segesta last year was big, but this one was so much bigger. We only had about 2 hours before our dinner, so we needed to decide what we wanted to see as there was no chance to visit all sights. One person in the group has visited Selinunte before, so we followed her advice and The Temple of Hera and learn about Quarries of Cusa. We walked for so long, and I'm sure that we didn't even see one forth of the grounds. I don't need any more reasons to go back!
