Enough snow.  Back to sunny Sicily.

Monreale Cathedral really blew my mind. Built by Arab architects for the 
Norman conquerers of Sicily, it's a Catholic cathedral that looks 
Byzantine. The walls are covered with mosaics of Bible stories, and all 
that glitters really is gold.  If you didn't know you were in Sicily 
you'd think you were in Istanbul.
