Trip to Palermo


Jeff and I took a bus tour to Palermo this past Sunday. Palermo is the capital of Sicily. We had a wonderful time. Not only was this city beautiful, the scenery on the bus trip there (2.5 hours) was awesome as well. On the bus ride, we saw green, lush rolling hills, mountains, and the coastline of Palermo. The water at the coast was bluish-green and looked crystal clear.

Once we got to Palermo, we toured a Palace, several churches, catacombs, and a gorgeous fountain. We also walked down several quaint streets where I bought some hazelnut gelato. We also walked by the Opera house where they filmed a scene from the movie "Godfather III." We really enjoyed ourselves. Oh, yeah...the bus driver for our tour knew Jeff because he used to work with Jeff when Jeff was stationed here before. The bus driver joined us for lunch and we chatted over pasta. Ah---good times.
