I'm in heaven! The rain is gone and its supposed to be sunny all week! I took a boat tour this AM while Bob went to Ragusa. I still can't walk well enough to handle uneven cobblestones, so I stayed at the hotel. Several of our group invited me to go on the boat tour so I gladly accepted. It turns out Siracusa is best seen from the water!
As we left the harbor we came to a very low bridge. The boatman said in his limited English, "Down." We figured it out pretty quick! Here are the shots.
We putt-putted along the coast to a grotto. Not as good as the Blue Grotto in Capri, but not bad and a lot cheaper!
The tour lasted about 75 minutes and was well worth the 15 € we paid. It was lovely to get out and enjoy a real Spring day.

Meanwhile Bob went inland to a town called Ragusa, which was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1600s and rebuilt in the Baroque Style. At least the Duomo was.

Tomorrow we are off to Taormino for 4 nights. We're going up Mt. Etna at some point. Til' then . . .
