In-Laws in Italy, day 2 part 1

Palermo. Zach, wanna help me out with captions? While I absolutely love tours and traveling, I'm not so good with the remembering what I've seen, especially if I've forgotten to bring my camera and have 2 babes in tow. Sorry!

click to enlarge.
17th c. carriage, Prez Palace:















amazing church (all the sparkly bits are gold):




















Mt. Etna (notice that it is actively smoking!) and an Italian funeral parlor. Probably only funny to those in WNY, but we ALL noticed it:








PS: did you notice the quilt inspirations post on the mountain blog?

One of the interesting things about the palace is that they still use rooms in the palace at Palermo as meeting places for local government. Thanks for the posts!
