Also, watching life go by outside our balcony window in Palermo, with an accordion player providing the perfect background music.

1. Watching a Madonna paraded through the streets of Palermo from our balcony---music played, crowds gathered, doves were released, and confetti filled the air. To my knowledge we weren't there for any festivals or holidays---but things felt quite festive hard to beat as our introduction to sicilia

2. Cathedral in Monreale--- so striking with the combination of norman/Moorish influence...incredible tile work. Definitely a must see

3. Caravaggio exhibit in Ortygia---not sure if it is a permanent collection or if it was temporary, but probably my favorite art experience in Italy

4. Notto--- Spanish hillside town glows pink at dusk, also the most delicious and creative gelato---we had one that was tomato, onion, and garlic and it was the best gelato I've had in my life---i know the flavors sound strange, but Sicilians apparently can work magic with their dairy
