We arrived safely in Palermo after a long trip from LAX to Dulles to Rome to Palermo. We rented our car and drove to downtown Palermo, hotel Letizia no problem. We walked around old Palermo, had our first gelato, and chanced upon a religious procession at the church of San Domenica. it was quite a spectacle with a huge alter/float with a bigger than life sized Madonna and child all decorated with fresh flowers that was rolled out the front door of the church by about 40 men, a thirty piece brass band playing music, fireworks going off and then processed through throngs of people in the streets which were especially lighted for the occaision. It was quite a spectacle. Back to our hotel for dinner and a fitful night's sleep. R & L
I just have to add that Sicily is so different and unique..just what I wanted to experience, it is just so ancient, and the capuchos molt bene. More piu tardi buono note amores
