Our Italy Trip: Southern Sicily Part 1

A church in Syracuse.  It is special because it is ancient.  It is a converted Greek Temple!  The original columns are integrated in the church walls.

Another special site in Syracuse is the Greek theatre.  Extra special because of the theatre kitties, so friendly much like our Siamese home in Maui.

A view of the Greek theatre in Syracuse.  An impressive sight.

A well at the theatre, fed by an Greek viaduct, still intact after more than 2000 years!

The "ear" cave.  Because of it's special shape you can hear a whisper inside all the way outside the cave.
