Open Air Market!

HOW COULD I FORGET THE MARKET!!

We went to the market on the first day. Its the largest open air market in Palermo.

It was so amazing.

The fishermen calling to all the people in the market to come buy their fresh catch (most of it still alive),
all the vibrant colors of all the fresh fruit and vegetables, the meat hanging up over their booths.

I got the most fresh and delicious strawberries (fragola) for only 60 euro cents.

We were followed around by stray dogs all day - I named the three that were around the most.
Pal - because I was a tough looking boy dog (and we were in Palermo)
Bella - A pretty dog that barked at traffic to make sure we crossed ok
Best - The most horrifying and gross looking dog that kept sniffing the garbage on the streets, looking for food.

Ok,
Ciao
