Ciao, Palermo!

Tonight is our last night in Palermo and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day. We began with mass at a beautiful hidden treasure Church in the center of the town, followed by a quick tour. We then drove outside of the city and climbed almost a hundred stairs to an amazing Cathedral. We spent over half an hour looking at the details of each wall alone. We were then given a little time for shopping and walking around the town, many pictures were taken as we were on top of Palermo with a gorgeous view of the Meditteranean. Another Church was then explored in an old castle of Palermo. Here we saw how the elite group of people celebrated the Eucharist many years ago. Finally, due to the good weather of the afternoon (in the morning it rained quite a bit), we were rewarded with a small trip to the Sea where many of us were able to put our toes in the water and enjoy some galato! Tonight we are all studying for our first oral exam and practicing skits that we will soon perform at an old theatre. Tomorrow will be our last full day in Sicily as we are all anxiously awaiting our trip to Rome. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
