A week in Palermo

A week in Palermo

In September 2019, Wally and I spent a week or so in Sicily. A friend decided to have a thirtieth birthday weekend there, and given we've never been to Sicily before, we decided to make the most of it and fly out a few days in advance and explore the island. We hired...
