Sicily

Taoramina, Sicily was just how I imagined Italy - little streets, the shops, the outdoor cafes and gelato! Taoramina is set on a hill, you have to drive up to the city, then take an elevator to get up the the city center.
The view was beautiful! Sicily
The main piazza
drinking fountain Me and Lance - in Italy!
I loved the narrow streets with the flowering balconies check out this one!


These flowers were everywhere, they were so beautiful!
Doesn't this little piazza look like a movie backdrop? So cute!
The view of the Meditteranean Sea
The Greek theater was built in 500 BC, was finished by the Romans and is still in use today. In fact Sting had a concert there a few years ago.
The view was absolutely stunning!



We found this beautiful garden in the back of an upscale hotel
Then we headed to the beach to swim - the Mediterranean was cool but refreshing.
There were tons of little fishing boats in the water and on the shore
Goodbye Sicily!
