While in Italy we were able to go down to Sicily and visit the beautiful city of Taormina. Over the years this has become among my favorite places in all of Italy. It is an ancient Greek town that was built atop a steep mountain/hill. The views of the sea and Mt Etna are just amazing. Although it was very hazy around Mt Etna the day we were there and we couldn’t see it. But when you look out the other direction you can see the straight of Messina and mainland Italy. I love this city.
