... traveling with the fam in Sicily.

Messina, Sicily has one of the largest, and most famous astronomical clocks in the world.  At noon, all of the gilded figures, including lions, roosters, and even the 12 apostles, start moving around.  




There is a cathedral right next to the clock.  It has big doors.  



After watching the clock do its thing, we wandered around Messina for a little while with my parents.  We saw some cool buildings, 



some fountains, 


some artichokes, 


a view of our ship,


and a fabulous old building with a garden in front. 



Then we hiked to the top of a hill (a big hill) to find another cathedral.  There were some fabulous views of the entire city.
