Taromina

What a beautiful city. It is set in the mountains with beautiful piazzas and ancient architecture.it overlooks the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna looms over it's shoulder. Today Mount Etna was billowing smoke from it's peak. So cool to see but I think it would be disconcerting to see that and wonder when it would blow it's top again. We had a little trouble with the public bus system. Our ride up was fine even though very crowded with standing room only. Coming home was a different story. When we got to the bus station the bus was filled so we waited a half an hour for the next bus. Never sure which bus was going to our town and when it would leave. When a bus opened it's doors everyone in the parking lot converged on the door and we were left in the parking lot a second time. Luckily we were with another couple and we shared a cab back to the hotel or we may still be waiting at the bus station. We had a wonderful lunch of pizza and salad. We laughed when we saw the pizza named the Americano as it was topped with frankfurters and French fries. Tomorrow we head to Argientro.
