It’s time to say good-bye to this wonderful place called Taormina. We enjoyed it a lot and couldn’t get enough of the history, the culture and the style.

Yesterday was our last day here and we were very busy: first we visited an Ancient Greek amphitheater, that was rebuilt by the Romans and is still used as a concert venue today! Lots of stairs (62 to be precise), buts it’s worth it…

We had a fabulous lunch + dessert before visiting Parco Florence Trevelyan, a quiet shady garden with fantastic views

When you walk in Oldtown Taormina along the Corso Umberto that is 1km between Porto Messina (where our B&B was) and Porto Catania you’ll be surprised how many little side streets there are! Ted and I walked along and took photos of each of them, more than 30!

Last adventure on my agenda: teaching 2 classes on Zoom until 11pm 😴

And last but not least, our good-bye photo from Taormina🥴, from Sicily😖 and from Italy😫

Finally I was able to get out for a hike! Being that we haven’t been hiking for 3 months.. I am sore from this 8k hike! Although there was a 1500ft (450m) elevation gain! fortunately it was only about 85 (29C) . I was thankful that there was a German group of hikers nearby so that I felt safe if I had issues!!
