Siracusa

Siracusa is a lovely little seaside town rich with history. Our first stop after lunch was the "aquarium," not much more than a fancy pet shop display here in the USA, but the kids loved it! We didn't get to see the Greek and Roman amphitheaters, but plan to go back when we have more time (perhaps next year?).

Duck pond and papyrus.

g.e.l.a.t.o.

I love all the layers of time.


Useful graffiti.


It is quite likely that the Apostle Paul spent time in this same piazza (Acts 28:12).


We took a walk through this church and Amelia kept asking when meeting was going to start. : )


Who says Smart car's aren't sporty?

After being in Europe I get why they are called Smart cars... although not so Smart in the US.

The wooden door/round window/electrical conduit combo is pretty funny, and makes a good photo. Oh! And happy birthday in advance, because your b-day is our travel day.
