Palermo
October 16-17, 2024
After breakfast in Trapani, we drove toward Palermo. After leaving our car at the Palermo airport, we hopped on a train to Palermo and dragged our luggage from the train station to our B&B. Our room is newly renovated and gorgeous!!
Zoom in on the walls. They are simply painted to look as though it has raised panels.
I loved these bathroom floor tiles!!
The ceiling is so old!
We explored Palermo on foot and stopped every once in a while for a wine and beer. We spotted a lane with tons of twinkly white lights and decided to come back to that for dinner.
Luckily we were seated at the same time as another couple who were from Montreal and we talked so much we exchanged numbers. They’d love to see New Orleans and us Canada.
Today, Oct 17, we had our breakfast at our B&B and did the Rick Steves walking tour which would eventually take us to the meeting point of our walking tour and street food.
They call these zebra walks and cars and motorcycles are supposed to yield to pedestrians. If you commit, keep going!

Our first taste, Sfincione. So delicious!
Our second tasting was Arancine (rice balls) also very delicious!
These were fried chickpea flour (panels) and croquettes.

Motorcycles are ever. Here is a whole family!
