A day in Taormina, Italy

One of the churches at the city center
 The center at the upper peak, near Castlemola
 The castle in Mota, a nearby town where go to eat dinner quite often
 The sun setting behind the mountains
 The shopping district
 A view from the edge of the square near Castelmola.  The closest knoll has the Taormina Castle, the next has the Greek Theatre ruins, and the last is the island in the water as seen in the beach picture.
 Another shopping street
 The Greek theater ruins
 A view of the bay from the Taormina Castle
 Our group...Scott, Nick, myself, and Dan (left to right)
 The beach...notice the island with the house on it
 Some decent sized boats in the blue water
 Entrance to the shopping district
 The crew again with Nick's wife Ashley
Lunch near Castelmola.  Mount Etna in the background
