Palermo, Sicily

Palermo was a great city to visit. Unfortunately the waterfront needs a little bit of help, but it seems to have all the elements to make a lively waterfront, they just need an architect (*cough*, like myself, *cough*) to come in and make some changes. But the city centre is very diverse and lively and the Sicilians sure know how to eat. If and when I come back here it will be interesting to see what kind of changes will have happened. The city is divided into 2 parts, the old and the new, and it seems like the two are butting heads rather than working off one another to enrich the livelihood in Palermo.



Gorgeous beach called Mondello, right on the west side of Mt. Peligrino.



Entrance to the botanical gardens.



Bougainvilleas everywhere!!



Probably the coolest sun dial I have seen.



Kinda reminds me of Beverley Hills.



La Cattedrale di Palermo.



Great park right on the waterfront, but not very populated.


La Cala, the old marina in Palermo.



The famous Teatro Massimo.



The famous street markets of Palermo.
