For Us and the Birds

Today was a productive day filled with visits to museums and hotels. Checking out all the spots for Experience Sicily clients! My cousin Giulia was a fantastic Palermitana guide and my cousins Anna and Franca treated me to dinner at a very popular tratorria packed with locals.

When I had a few minutes on my own earlier in the evening, I took in one of Palermo’s best views: Piazza San Domenico from the roof bar of La Rinascente department store on Via Roma. At the piazza’s center is a column featuring the Immaculate (Madonna). Spectacular to have a bird’s eye view!
