Palermo

We flew from Pisa to Palermo, taking the bus into town. We stayed in an apartment building just steps from the mercato ballarò. 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.

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