Full Circle

Full circle today as we head back towards to Palermo for our last day together. In the morning, we stopped by Monreale to visit its cathedral. The outside may be fairly plain, but inside were beautiful gold mosaics. We got audio guides to better appreciate the various scenes depicted and for once in a long time, I really paid attention to the images. So often times, we visit church after church, a good glance and look around without really seeing what was there.

The explanations were a bit long though as I'm sure everyone skipped through a few.

Back in Palermo, a quick orientation walk and lunch, then some free time. Having been in Palermo already, I mostly sat back. One new site for me was Bellaro Market, but the rest seemed almost as fresh as 2 weeks ago.

Last dinner with the group and tomorrow we start goodbyes/see you laters.Read more
