Day 7: Rapallo to Palermo

We’ve taken countless trains and buses over the past couple of days, so my mind is a little foggy. At Genoa Airport, after one train, one bus, and two mad dashes, I completely forgot where we were headed and at the airport check in, I asked if my bag was going all the way to LA or if I needed to claim it in Boston. “LA?! Signora, you’re going to Palermo.”

Our flight from Genoa to Rome left really late, so they told us while in the air that we would miss our next fight…but when landed, the staff member had a sign telling us which gate to go to and she said “Run! It’s far but you might make it.” So we ran fifty gates and discovered that flight was also delayed and we made it!!! I was shocked that our bags made it with us! A miracle.

We’re in Sicily now and excited about the food and the culture and the beauty.

We’re in a very nice AirBnB right in the center of all the historical sites of Palermo, overlooking Piazza San Domenico.

This was taken from our little balcony. We can almost reach out and touch the church.
Also taken from our AirBnB. It’s a pretty piazza. Nearby are lots of expensive stores, but it’s also close to all the historical sights.
The apartment is beautifully decorated
Jim’s dinner: focaccia di milza
My dinner: rigatoni alla Norma
