Palermo

Or Palmero, as yesterday’s stewardess insisted on calling it.

Here we are, glorious warm mild breezy weather, (though likely to change as my ever optimistic!!! husband would have me believe.)

We had one breakfast today in a very local cafe and then immediately went in search of the next. We got to the theatre square and sat down to a deliberate misspelling of my name. Weird picture though. Nice breakfast, however.

The walk in the way was fascinating. Religious statues, wall paintings, niches everywhere. We went through a very colourful local market but too dense and crowded to take any photos. tomorrow, maybe

Christ behind the grille

Palermo is beautiful. But extremely dilapidated.

An ancient wall with an array of disused pipes
If you look up you don’t notice the detritus at your feet
Bougainvillea everywhere
An ancient olive in a beautiful pot. Too big to steal.
The carabinieri here are very much present. Very elegant, though

Just a little glimpse so far. More later. We’re off to find some lunch!
