Lazy day in Italy

Today, we decided to take a day off, walk around a LITTLE bit, but mostly take it easy. Here's a few pics of things we found...

Cody: Big gate

Will: Since it Italy, people still drive there scooters through it, and the park...

Cody: That's a castle... Im guarding it with my guns

Will: It was pretty nice, went inside but it was closed

Cody: Kinda a boring castle... who would want to attack that when theres a pretty garden in the front

Will: Dont think the garden was there when it was built...

Cody: Picture from Taormina... houses on the mountain side

Will: Taken form the accent roman theater.

Cody: The Catania square... Will is still more square

Will: Looks like you fit in pretty good though....

Taormina/Isola Bella

Cody: We had to pay $8 to see this! HOWEVER, if you were a part of the Europian Union, it was only $4.. pshhh

Will: Yeah, kinda lame, but it was cool!

Cody: Looks like a Texas beach huh?

Will: Island in the middle, with a huge house on the top, Mafia Don?

Cody: Went north to Taormina! Spent most of our time there at Isola Bella

Will: amazing beach, with a little island in the back

Cody: Felt like it was fake... like a disney land park

Will: super clear water, with rock and little fish

Cody: At the top of the Teatro antico

Will: Ocean view

Cody: Will in the teatro... bein emo

Will: No, being artistic!

Cody: In Catania, with some teatro in the background... we probably should have done more research

Will: Yeah, just thought it looked cool, so took a picture.

"I think all this stuff might be a big deal...?"
