As we sailed on to Messina we were greeted by the statue of the Virgin Mary by the harbor with the inscription: "Vos et ipsam civitatem benedicimus" (We bless you and your city), a quotation from a letter which according to the legend Mary gave to the Christians of the city.
Here's a view out the window of our tour bus on the way to Taormina from the port city, Messina.
The gate to Taormina. Taormina is a small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. It is perched on the slopes of Mount Tauro.
Random shots of Taormina....
We're in front of the Greco-Roman Theater. It is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts.
