Day Two in Sicily: Parco Archeologico, Labrotorio Pupi, and Cake

Day two in Siracusa was spent mostly in the rain. We still managed to get out to the archeological site though! It was amazing to be basically the only tourists at these large sites. 

Our view by the hotel. 

Before you start giggling let me say that Pupi = Puppets in Italian. So a Pupi Laboratory builds puppets.

Puppet making is a Siracusa speciality. They are so detailed!

Feeling silly in my poncho...

Getting over it...

And then embracing it completely 

Kitty! Sorry you got stuck in the rain lil' buddy!

These pictures are from the Parco Archeologico. This is the Greek Theatre 

This is a picture of the ceiling in il Orecchio di Dionisio. The cave had an amazing echo and you could hear the coos of pigeons amplified. 

The entire cave was created as miners quarried rock. It's huge!

Pistacchio and Chocolate cake. So good!

Night view of the ocean.

The Parco Archelogico was definitely a good way to spend a rainy day even if we did soak our shoes and pants a bit.
