“To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.”—Goethe
We set off for Palermo, just over two hours from Naro. It was a gorgeous day for a drive, although there are a lot of tunnels in Sicily blocking the nice view.
We walked around Palermo. We saw old buildings. We ate bomba arancini. I spilled gelato on myself. We went to a famous old street market. We ate at a fancyish restaurant.

| Vucciria market. Dwindling these days |
 |
| Sicilian grapes! |

| Cliff is really thrilled to be going through another market |

| Yup. There's a hot dog in that bread if I remember correctly. |

| We stumbled upon a section of Palermo decorated for a festival of their patron saint, Saint Rosalia |
