Syracuse

The next day we drove South and stopped in Siracusa, also known as Syracuse.  It was a major Greek city-state and the home of the famous mathematician and engineer Archimedes (of Eureka in the bathtub fame).  It has a huge Greek amphitheater and great architecture.  Here are a couple of pictures.  Unfortunately, we were there in midafternoon on a Sunday and the stores were not open yet.  Irith says here looked to be some good fashion shopping there.

Gil – can you believe it?  An entire museum and theater dedicated only to pupi?  We would have gone it, but we were not sure if we could take the smell.
