Taormina: City Views

The main drag is a km of beautifully preserved Medieval 
buildings, up-scale shops and restaurants






















E.g.

















Plus alleys shooting off in every direction





















Ditto





















Ditto again





















An occasional church




















The tiniest alley we have seen yet




















A shop Tawana would like















Busts of Mussolini















A plaque honoring Italian mini-submariners who sank British battleships
















And, not least, a parade and kiddie pageant















Brooding upon how to get back at parents for this latest humiliation...

Oh, you're right...I would have loved that shop!

Don't worry, we're taking pix for you! Even I can spot them now.
