Honeymoon, Day 10 Sicily

July 21, 2004

View of Sicily as we drive to Taormina

Sicily

Old church in Taormina

Taormina is basically one long street with lots of expensive stores

And also lots of pretty churches

I love dramatic-looking churches

Erin in Sicily

Taormina's big attraction (besides shopping) is the Greek Theater

It was built by the Greeks in 300 BC and rebuilt by Romans in 200 AD

The theater is high up with a great view of the sea

View of Sicily from the theater

Stage area - yes those are halves of a boob

The acoustics are so great that they still perform plays here

See - rebuilt for the modern audience

Erin with Mt. Etna in behind her (very light colored on the left)

Mt. Etna is Europe's largest active volcano - it's huge!

We ate Italian pizza at this cute restaurant

And then got ice cream!

Matt outside of the stores we can't afford

Along the main street, the side streets were very steep

There's a fountain at the city's main entrance

And this is Messina, the town where we docked

Sun is about to set...

This is the statue that greets you at the port of Messina
