Where's The Godfather?

Sicily! What a fun place! And I must say, the weather was a lot better than Prague.

First, Rainer and I took a tour bus up to Catania. A place that thrives in the shadow of Mt. Etna - the giant active volcano on the island. Interestingly, the city of Catania has been completely destroyed by volcanic eruptions and rebuilt seven times over the centuries! My dad would call that poor city planning.

I'm also going to take a moment to point out a charming small village at the base of Mt. Etna called Nocolosi. Of course, Rainer found the best coffee shop there.

After Catania, Mt. Etna, and Nicolosi... the tour bus was bound for Modica. Modica was generally a Spanish city in Sicily with distinct Baroque architecture. It is also well known for its chocolate!

I loved it... but I didn't find The Godfather :(
