After our few days in Palermo, we drove back near Catania to Taormina, where we had rented a house for the week. The house was decent, but definitely had its quirks... the bathrooms didn't really have a shower per se... the bathroom WAS the shower and the shower was the bathroom. Taking a shower meant getting the whole room wet... very strange. Only two out of the four bedrooms were air conditioned, which led to nights of either being too hot or too cold. Our electrical system was easily over-loaded, which led to much running up and down the stairs to reset the circuit breaker. The best part of all? The HUGE terrace. We spent many hours out there soaking up the sun (and the wine...). It was such a relazing location... I truly, truly disconnected from work during my time away. It was an amazing feeling!
We're now up to Sunday... we spent the day in Taormina, where there is an amazing Greek Theater. Because this island has been conquered by so many different people over the years, there are amazing ruins from many different times. The theater is actually well-preserved, and Fabio went to a concert in it later in the week.

Love this shot of the beach!

After viewing the ruins, we went to the beach called Isolabella... another rocky beach, but, again, it was so relaxing!
