Day 8: Palermo

Today, we had a loose plan but spent most of our time simply wandering the city. Palermo is full of surprises, with beauty waiting around every corner. Almost every building feels like a stunning work of art, and there’s always a perfect photo opportunity just waiting to be captured.

The beautiful harbor reminded both Jim and me of Ventura, my home town

I loved seeing these two fishermen untangle and mend their nets.

Around another corner was this stunning pool and fountain

And then we happened on this bustling market with all kinds of goods and food.

It smelled amazing and people were laughing and yelling to entice people to buy

Later we took a fun and informative street food tour. So delicious! And we met people from around the world, including a sweet German woman who was eager to help me practice German conversation in the future.
