Siracusa & Noto

We got up on the early side to head South to Siracusa, or Syracuse. ;) It's another town with some great ruins... these are part Roman, and part Greek.


The Roman Theater - this one was used less for plays, and more for gladiators v. animals! :)



The Orrecchio di Dioniso, which had amazing acoustics! According to legend, Dioniso used to keep prisoners in here to hear all of their secrets


KP at the entrance to the "ear"


The Duomo in Siracusa... built to incorporate pieces of the Temple of Athena that was once on this site - beautiful!


Karyn, Fabio, & I drove to Noto to see the Baroque town, while the rest of the group went to the beach... the town was pretty unimpressive, but the gelato was amazing! :)
