Palermo!

About a month ago, I went to Palermo, the capital of Sicily. With 8 others in my program, we left Friday afternoon and stayed through Monday afternoon. Aside from not being able to speak Italian, I loved everything about it! The city was beautiful, the weather was really nice, and the food was delicious! And luckily one of the guys from the program was studying in Italy last semester, so he was able to do all of the talking. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip!
First, food:

Spaghetti carbonara

Pizza with artichokes and prosciutto
Margherita pizza -my favorite!


Cappuccino
Gelato!
Cioccolata calda
Another cappuccino!
Cannoli







Now some shots of the beautiful city! 

 
The Cathedral of Palermo





 

Fountain by our b&b



Beautiful tropical-looking area
Fishermen




Park




Orange trees in the park

Teatro Massimo, where the final scene from Godfather was filmed

Inside Teatro Massimo; couldn't take pictures in the actual theater part but it was so beautiful!

Had to sneak a picture in the catacombs

Really cool music wall



Back to the cathedral
