Palermo, Italy
(2007) |
|
Okay
first of all this was the weather in Blending
of 2 cultures as we board the airplane: Right—The Brits form an orderly
queue; Left—the Italians all cram to get on first. We
walked around many of the winding streets. Shiny
new Smart Cars park in front of deteriorating old buildings. Old
castles and ruins. The
post office. Oratorio
A
fountain. We
wandered around the streets until we came around a corner and suddenly this
giant cathedral appeared in front of us. In
front of the Cathedral. Remember
the weather in It ain’t small. An
arch connects the Cathedral to the next block. Further
down the street, another arch connects to the Palace dei
Normanni. Atop
the San Giovanni degli Eremiti
(which was under construction and not that interesting) we had a good view of
the Cathedral. Mmm
Sicilian food. Goodbye
Palermo! |
