6 - 7 April 2017
After picking up Hanna at the Catania Airport around noon, we departed for Catania.  We arrived there in time to eat dinner after checking into our abode, and go back to the abode for some rest.
Picture here is our first real Sicilian pizza - some good pizza.
Picture
The next morning checked out a morning market for some breakfast munchies and to see how the locals get their fresh food.
Picture
Picture
Then onto sites around Syracuse (Syracusa if you're Italian).  
Picture
Picture
Picture
And then we walked out to the far end of the island part of town and checked out some preserved fortifications.
Picture
Sights around the fort.

Back towards the center of town - local sports fisherman.  We watched a guy reel in a starfish.
Picture
A well deserved snack...or two...
Picture
Picture
Followed by a visit to Syracuse's Cathedral.  As we learned time and again, Christian cathedrals were often built upon sites of previous Roman constructions.  This particular Cathedral not only built itself upon a Roman site, but also incorporated much of the previous temple structure.

Picture
Continuing our narrated walking tour, we found ourselves at another Piazza (Plaza).
Picture
This fountain was just one block from our apartment.
Picture
Finally dinner time.  Fried seafood appetizer.  For the main, tonight is pasta since last night was pizza.
Picture
Picture
Finishing with a shot of limoncello...Hanna just took a little sip then passed the rest off to Gerri.
Picture
Tim enjoyed the walk back past a fishing boat marina.
Picture
Tim meet Tim - "TIM" is a communications company we see all over Italy.
