Taormina

Approaching Taormina
Taormina is a about a hour and a half's drive down the east
coast away from where we live. It was a beautiful day for a drive.
Entering the city.


Taormina is located on a mountain so you have to drive up!

Getting closer.


We are here. It so pretty!


The sidewalk.


Up an alleyway.


Look down at the beach.
The colors of the water were so vivid.
This picture does not do it justice.
There were about tens shades of green near the shore.
A mural. It's cool!

An old church

There were tons of tourists in the town.
Lots of Germans and some Americans.
We heard a couple of people speaking French.
More tomorrow!

Hi JoAnne.. we never managed to get there on our trip, but I do know that it is very very touristy and expensive, a place for the rich and famous. I hope you had a lovely time.

We only had a week, we stuck to the smaller places, feels more local.

If that was this weekend you certainly had warmer weather than here in Lazio!
