Palermo

Palermo is an interesting city of contrasts. One part is run down where most of the immigrants live, one part is very rich where things are clean and spacious and the other part is just normal. Sound like anywhere we know? Just about all places for us. But this city is easy to walk through because all streets go from piazza to piazza - forget finding a street name though - and there are many fruit and flea market streets that connect each area. Things are cheap here, for the poor, a necessary thing. We stopped to take a pic of how big things are. The walnuts were the size of half of G's hand.
We enjoyed walking along the Prada store areas and such, which were along the nicer of streets, but found our most interesting places amongst the other two areas. The streets team with scooters, no bikes, it's too dangerous. There are unowned, free roaming dogs everywhere in Sicily but especially in Palermo. They just cross the street whenever, sleeping in the middle of everything, and everyone touches and feeds them. They are rundown and often hurt and definitely sad.
There are no laws or rules on the island. A red light is just a colour, a street doesn't mean anything and a crosswalk is for parking on. So take your chances! Still, there is good coffee to be had.
