OLLI Highlights of Sicily Tour
21-30 May, 2024
Long-time OLLI Professor Douglas Kenning is leading a tour to Sicily, where he lives part of every year and runs a small tour company. From hilltop towns to the Mediterranean Sea, you'll explore Sicily: Myths & histories of Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, & the vibrant present. One Golden age boasts more ancient Greek temples than Greece and the finest Roman mosaics in sitù, and a second Golden Age produced the finest art of the high Middle Ages, including the most beautiful chapel in all Italy.
This and an exploration of each style of Sicily's famous cuisine and wines.

"Oppie and Art"
Join Dr. Les Adler and an OLLI travel group in a Summer 2024 exploration of New Mexico's rich cultural, artistic and scientific heritage from its Native American and Hispanic roots to its central role in the creation of the Atomic Age. This fully curated 9-day, 8-night tour including 3 nights in Albuquerque and 5 nights in Santa Fe provides numerous 'roads less traveled' opportunities for cultural immersion through meetings with New Mexican artists, museum curators and historical experts along with museum, gallery and guided visits to Bandelier National Monument, Los Alamos and currently occupied pueblos such as Acoma and Taos. A center of continuing creativity in the arts, crafts, architecture and sciences, New Mexico provides a unique expression of the convergence of ancient visions with modern times. Also, the views are beautiful and the food is great!
