This was our first visit to Sicily. We stayed at the Grand Hotel San Pietro in Taormina. The weather was warm, but most days were misty to some degree so I did not get any good shots of Etna. As much as I liked Taormina the costs, especially with the current strength of the Euro, mean I won't be rushing back there.

2) An abandoned building
3) Look at the size of those lemons!
4) Odeon S Caterina - ISO800
5) The street to the Greek Theatre
6) The Greek Theatre from back stage
7) Lots of "arts and crafts" shops in the narrow side streets
8) And of course - lots of restaurants!
