Palermo market

I used to travel once a year, when the season offered the cheapest rates, for 5 to 7 days. Because I took lots of pictures, and showed them mostly after home, after playing a lot with them, many believe I travel a lot!

So once, from Paris still, I decided to go to a place I feared most: Palermo, the Mafia's centre. A tiny hotel centre town, not far from the market or even University, or sea. All was different then I thought, to photographer girls showed me around, each one Sunday, and gave me advices. The restaurants were expensive for me, so I did buy in bakeries and in the market, great interesting food.

First evening, I arrived, there was an anti mafia manifestation, lots of young and a few politicians in a square not far. Lots of people smiled and let me take photo of them. 

I also went up north in very old town with a bus, and down south to visit a small town near the sea, with a great view traveling with train. But after so many pictures, in Sicily, this is my favorite one: the pears that were arranged like soldiers.
