A Day Exploring the Blue Grotto...

As mentioned earlier Taormina sits on a cliff top and at its base lies the deep blue sea.  Over the years the pounding of the waves has eroded the base of the cliff and formed many caves -- this area is called the Blue Grotto...
Together with Franca and Joe we commissioned this young "Italian hunk of a spunk" to take us out on his boat "Davide"

It was a beautiful trip but the sea was a little rough, AND Franca refused to move from the floor of the boat -- her screams could be heard all the way around the coast :)

Inside the caves the sun managed to shine through crevices in the rocks and this made the water appear fluoroscent blue... hence the name "Grotti Azzuri"  (Blue Caves)...

We had yet ANOTHER MAGICAL DAY...
