On the third day, we drove to Noto, Mt. Etna, and Taormina. Like Napier in New Zealand, Noto was destroyed by a disaster, in this case an eruption of Mt. Etna, and was entirely rebuilt all at the same time. We were disappointed that a particular patisserie our food book mentioned was closed for vacation, but we peeked in several churches, and it was interesting to see how stylistically similar they were.
