Sunrise in Taormina
What a wonderful day in Taormina! I'm not sure if it is because the weather took a turn for the best ( I'm sure thanks to all the good energy my BFF is sending my way and maybe because all the praying while at the convent in Cefalú) or maybe because it's off season and the town is not super crowded. 
One thing I now for sure, I've known this for a long time, it pays off to get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise on a glorious day. The view of Mount Etna at Sunrise was breath taking...

Taormina is a beautiful place in the east coast of Sicily,  with close to 12,000  habitants, beautiful coastal sights of the Ionian Sea it attracts a "chi chi" crowd ( let me go on record saying that I stole that phrase from our guide Nina).
The town provides great views of Mt. Etna , Europe's largest active volcano,  historical attractions like the Teatro Greco (which as it stands right now its mostly a Roman theater), it's Duomo which dates to the 13th Century, and a 10th Century courtyard in the Palazzo Corvaja, as well as some beautiful beaches, to name a few.

The wonderful sights of Taormina...
