Well all good things must come to an end. We head off to the airport in Palermo tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. and have 17 hours of travel ahead. Thank you all for joining us on this trip. 

In a small way this blog allowed us to take our families and friends with us - without having to pay for your tickets!  For those of you who have been following us faithfully, we thank you and sincerely hope this isn't like the end of a really good season of Mad Men. 

FYI - From now on Jim is only speaking German and Tim is only speaking Italian.  But I'm sure we'll still be able to speak to you with our hands and facial expressions. See you in St. Louis!

Herzlichen Dank and Grazie! Auf Wiedersehen and Ciao!  

Here's Tim with Giuseppe, our gracious host at The Palazzo Pantaleo, the B & B that was our Palermo home for 4 days.  Grazie Giuseppe and we'll be back.

We say goodbye to Palermo and our Sicilian adventure. We just scratched the surface on this beautiful, multi-faceted island in the Mediterranean but we feel so enriched by all the wonderful things it has to offer.  We hope to come back again. After all, a Sicilian offer is an offer you can't refuse!

You sure can't judge a book by its cover!

We came across this inconspicuous looking church and decided to take a look inside.  Come inside with us.

Here's the Palermo chapter of Hell's Angels with Jim almost getting mowed down.
