Palermo !

Today was an amazing day ! The day started out with a late wake up
At 7:30 witch was very nice . From there we got on the bus and drove three hours to a very small town that was known for its pottery . We got to see how they make it . It was very neat . They first soak clay in water then put it on a spinner and mold it into a pot , mask , and many more things , also , the view from the back of the studio was breath taking . That is one thing I love about this region of Europe , it is very mountains and there are lots of amazing views . From there we had some time to go into the gift shop . I did not buy much because it was way to expensive . From there we got on bus for a short ride to a vineyard where we had lunch . It was very good . A salad with steak and then some peaches for desert . From there it was time for yet another three hour ride to the town of Cefalu , this town was absolutely amazing ! When we got there we had to walk about 10 minutes through nice European streets to a cathedral . It was very nice inside and out sadly , we only had 10 minutes inside because there was a wedding about to start . I felt extremely bad for them it was 112 degrease out and there was no ac in the church . After that we had free time and were told to report to the town square at 5:45 because we had to go to dinner . The first thing my friends and I did was go and get gelato . It tasted so good in the heat . I gave had gelato almost every day I've been in Italy ... After that we had some free time to do souvenir shopping . There was not a good selection of shops in the town but there were lots of food stores . I purchased packaged olives , olive oil , And many more things to bring back . After that we just walked around the city . We reported back to the square on time then we were told we had an extra 40 minutes because dinner was delayed . We heard there was a rely nice pier/beach only a few blocks away from where we were so my friends and I decided to go and check it out , it was amazing there were mountains every where , the water was clear blue And very warm , and the view was amazing . We were the only people from our group that decided to go and check it out so it was very nice we felt like locals . We then climbed on some rocks and stuck our feat in the watter we also saw Many see urchins , star fish , and more . Before we knew it it was time to had back . Aftor we meet up the group walked to dinner we had some meat And pasta dish . It was very good we then had conoles for desert . We then drove and hour to our nice hotel in Palermo . Good night !

  1. When you write, Max, I feel like I am there. You have a great way of describing things! I love all your photos, also! I hope you get to do some presentations next year in Mrs. Pille's class. You can come during the last hour.
