nmhw-mm 'vu-w -emit! -'-vw. .rant it Q i t All USTA , SICIL This seaport, located on the southeastern coast of Sicily, and the neighboring towns of Syracuse and Taormina offered picturesque liberty to the crew of the Olmsted. Augusta is a small bustling fishing village whose streets are filled 'with dark-skinned Sicilians in gaily colored mule-carts and 'street vendors shouting, Hey, Joe! , in order to attract the sailors' attention to their wares of music boxes, silk and lace tablecloths and souvenir iewelry. Syracuse, with its ancient Greek and Roman ruins, is a tourists' paradise. Camera shutters snapped in the direction of the Greek Theatre, the Cat- acombs of St. Giovanni, the Ear of Dionysius and the Roman Amphitheatre which was once the scene of many Christian massacres. Taormina, a resort town nestled at the foot of maiestic snow-capped Mt. Etna, was equally colorful with its plush hotels and historic churches. Olmsteders will long remember the time they spent on liberty in Sunny Sicily.
