My intent to document my trip to Italy has not turned out how I imagined. With the bustle of the trip, I didn’t take the time while I was there to sketch out what to write, which has made writing after the fact difficult. I’m going to write a few more brief posts of trip highlights, but then I will be moving on because I have another trip coming up that you won’t want to miss!
The ancient Greeks founded the ancient city of Syracuse on the eastern shore of Sicily. We spent a day wandering around. The city has two parts: the island of Ortygia and the mainland, separated by a small waterway. It’s a great place to wander around, capturing sites from the ancient Greeks to the Romans to modern times.
The apostle Paul, after departing Malta, stopped at Syracuse briefly (Acts 28:12) with little detail. Afterward the ship continued sailing up the eastern coast of Sicily, which we followed on land, taking in the beautiful scenery as we drove.
