Taormina

If I was being completely honest, I would have to say Sicily was my favorite stop on our trip. It was our first excursion and we were told to grab a taxi from the port and drive an hour up to Taormina, a small town on the hilltop.

After some bartering we cut the price in half and squeezed into a van with a Italian driver named Giovanni who didn't understand a lick of English. He took us on a dangerously speedy drive up to Taormina where we had the best gelato and Margarita pizza ever made. It was everything I dreamt the Italian coast to be. I hope Jake and I can go back some day and spend some more time there because this trip was far too short!
