Palermo

We flew from Pisa to Palermo, taking the bus into town. We stayed in an apartment building just steps from the mercato ballarĂ². In Palermo, we visited with my host family, making a "Canadian" dinner of salmon with soy, ginger and maple syrup. We also went to Mondello for a walk on the beach, and Monreale to see the cathedral, as well as exploring the city. We saw a few of the churches, the cathedral, the botanical gardens and the archaeological museum.

Cacti at the garden.

I think my mom was jealous that things actually grow here...
