Sorry for the lack of pictures this time on my blog, but as I've said before, internet is both epensive and slow here. But, to illustrate our trip a bit, above are two pictures.
Tomorrow, we will leave the car parked and visit Palermo.
We left Taormina this morning after visiting a spectacular Greek Temple, which is the first picture above - if you look carefully, you can see Mount Etna in the background. The view is much more spectacular than the picture shows.
After a stop in Tyndaris to view its Roman ruins and for lunch, we drove to Palermo, stopping a couple times en route at things that looked interesting.
We got to Palermo at rush hour which was not a smart idea. Simply put, amusement rides are not nearly as terrifying as driving through its traffic. There would be four lines of cars in a one lane street and no one (including Danny who was driving for us and doing a great job) felt any need to give way to anyone else. It took us about a half hour at one point to move half a block. We were very relieved to find our hotel and drop our car at a garage and may very well tell Avis to simply come and get it!
