3	Thursday, 6/29/28	About Messina As Sicilys main gateway to continental Italy, Messina is a large and bustling port city completely rebuilt after a devasting earthquake in 1908. South of Messina, in the shadow of Mt Etna, is the beautiful resort of Taormina. Clinging to the side of a mountain, Taormina affords spectacular views at every turn. After admiring the magnificent Greek Theatre dating from the 3rd Century B.C., take a stroll along the main shopping street to appreciate the harmony of Taorminas architecture. Messina Attractions For a show unlike any you've seen before, check out the world's largest astronomical clock, Orologio Astronomico, in the Piazza del Duomo. It's set in a 197-foot bell tower and when the clock strikes noon, it comes to life. As Ave Maria begins playing from a loudspeaker, the bronze mechanical figures start to move. A lion roars, a bird flaps its wings, and two historical heroines take turns ringing the bell, all before it ends with a statue of Jesus appearing from a tomb. Messina Activities Take a walk through the Duomo, the town's main cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo. Although most of it has been refurbished in recent years, it has retained some of the original Norman-style features from 1160, when it was built by the Holy Roman emperor Henry VI. Make a wish in the Fontana di Orione in the center of the piazza. The pre-baroque-style fountain was built to commemorate Messina's aqueduct and symbolizes the four rivers, Tiber, Nile, Ebore and Camaro. Spend some time in the Museo Regionale. Here you'll find an amazing collection of art rescued from the 1908 earthquake, including pieces dating back to the 13th century. Messina, Italy	--	--
4	Friday, 6/30/28	About La Goulette Tunisia's capital lies at the western end of the shallow Lake Tunis, which opens to the sea at La Goulette. This is the first of a string of beach suburbs that stretches away to the north; it is here that the city's port is located. This coastal area includes the ruins of ancient Carthage and the picturesque suburb of Sidi Bou Said, places that attract more visitors than Tunis itself. As far as capital cities go, Tunis has an easy-going, unhurried air about it. It is a very liberal city by Islamic standards and certainly leading the way in Western trends for the rest of the country. La Goulette Attractions A visit to the Bardo Museum is a must. Housed in an old palace, the museum is renowned as the best in the country. Organized in sections, it features an impressive display of artifacts covering the Carthaginian, Roman, Palaeo-Christian and Arab-Islamic eras. The Roman mosaics are among the finest collections anywhere in the world. La Goulette Activities Kasbah Mosque - On a rise at the western edge of the medina, the 13th-century mosque stands on an enormous open square beautifully paved with local granite. Beaches - One of the best beaches is found at La Marsa. Others are at Amilcar and La Goulette. La Marsa is also one of the most exclusive residential suburbs, with upscale cafés and restaurants.

6	Sunday, 7/2/28	About Mediterranean Sea The Mediterranean Sea, a sea of myth and legend, is the largest inland sea. It is south of Europe, north of Africa, and west of Asia. It connects to the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar, and to the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and the Red Sea. Ancient civilizations flourished around the Mediterranean Sea. Later, the Mediterranean linked Europe, Africa and Asia as a major water highway for trade by merchants. After the building of the Suez Canal in 1869 it became, yet again, a major link between Europe and the Far East. Mediterranean Sea	--	--
7	Monday, 7/3/28	About Valencia Stylish and friendly Valencia is together with Barcelona the most important city on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. While the original founding goes back to Roman times, it was the Moors who arrived in 709 AD and made Valencia prosper, thanks to a booming trade in paper, silk, leather, ceramics, glass and silver work. After Almanzor's death, the area was conquered by the legendary "El Cid" during the Christian re-conquest of Spain. Not much is left from the Roman period, but the architectural legacy of the Moors is abundant and can be seen in the remains of the old walls, the Almirante bath house and the tower, el Miguelete, which was the minaret of the old mosque. Valencia Activities Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas - This baroque palace is on the Calle del Poeta Querol. Extensively rebuilt during the 18th-century, it is fronted by an extravagant façade, hand carved in alabaster. Torres de Serranos - This well-preserved 14th-century tower was part of the original walls that surrounded the old city. Beaches - The main city beach is Playa de la Malvarrosa. It is not the most pristine beach in Spain and is lined with restaurants, bars and discos. About 5 miles south of the city is Playa El Salér, which is backed by attractive public gardens.

8	Tuesday, 7/4/28	About Barcelona Founded by Romans in the first century BC, Barcelona is the vibrant capital of Catalonian Spain. Many of the worlds finest treasures can be seen in Barcelonas museums and monuments. Romanesque and Gothic frescoes and treasures can be enjoyed at the Catalan Art Museum. Among the most treasured sites is Gaudis masterpiece, The Sagrada Familia. Barcelona Attractions While you're in Barcelona, don't miss the Picasso Gallery. Several adjoining 15th-century palaces house a huge collection (over 2,000 pieces) of Picasso's work. Barcelona Activities Stroll along Las Ramblas, a wonderfully vibrant part of the city where street vendors and performers vie for your attention. Explore the many churches and cathedrals of Barcelona and discover the city's modernist architecture along Paseo de Gracia. Visit Antoni Gaudí's unfinished Segrada Familia. With eight soaring spires and a spectacular main façade, this cathedral is a true architectural masterpiece. Barcelona, Spain	--	--
