Taormina

We visited Taormina, a city north of Catania between Mount Etna and the blue, blue Mediterranean Sea.  The city is perched on a steep cliff.

The old part of the city is within walls.  Between the walls are restaurants, shops, churches, wine bars and narrow alleys.

Inside one church I took a picture of a votive candle holder.

This beautiful mosaic was outside. People could walk by and touch it.

The picture doesn't do justice to the blue green color of the sea.

We had lunch al fresco.  She's chomping on breadsticks.  I had fresh hand made canolli with spinach and cheese.  Handmade pasta!  Wow. The wine was good too.

Handmade pasta!  I can't eat for 3 days after this meal.
