We went up into the Madonie Mountains and it was beautiful. Taormina is one of the most gorgeous places on the planet 
That's Mt. Etna rising in the distance. This shot was taken in a Greek temple's ruins.
I was there in early December. It was warm and sunny in beautiful Palermo but there is snow on the top of Etna and we thought it would be a great idea to hire a driver to take us to the top of the volcano but we encountered a raging snowstorm. Our Sicilian driver had no experience driving in snow and it was one hairy experience getting down...the driver kept calling us pazzi (that means crazy in Italian).
I can tell you the pizza was terrific as was Sicily's own dish Pasta Norma(pasta with eggplant named after an opera singer). One guy on our trip ate it everwhere to find the best one...
Going back to Taormina is one of my travel goals...
