Taormina Part 2

This building was very impressive!
It's a museum but we didn't go inside.

The tower with Latin written on it.

The church door.
This was the only church we entered.
There was another further into the city but they had just
finished services and I didn't wish to intrude.


Beautiful painting!


The inside.
See the couple peering down. They
are looking at a small "dig". Someone uncovered
some Roman ruins under the church.
It was too dark to get a good photo.

Aren't these beautiful?


Another gorgeous alleyway.
Look at the ornate wares for sale.

A look ahead

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!
