Agata grew up in the hilltop town of Butera
Butera dates from the 4th Century B.C.
In the hills around Butera, shepherd and his dogs herding goats
Climbing cobblestone road into Butera
Street entrance to house where Agata grew up
We were fascinated by the narrow streets
Most streets were not much wider than sidewalks
Agata happened to run into the father of one of her classmates
The egg man
I'm sure these doors could tell some stories
The produce comes to you - artichokes, leeks, cauliflower and oranges
Local farmers bring their produce into town and go street to street to sell
Kids dressed for carnival festivities
We stood out like sore thumbs... Americans!
Castello di Butera - built during the 11th century
Door to the mother church in Butera where Agata was baptized, took first communion and was confirmed
Kids dancing for carnival festivities on Fat Tuesday
Clothes dryers are rare...most people hang their clothes out to dry
A man I met on the street directed me to this photo opportunity...oldest part of Butera is down those steps
Another photo of a shepherd and his flock
