Palermo Sites - Mondello Beach
This is where the people of Palermo go for the weekend, and we can not even imagine what it looks like in the heat of summer.

The cars and scooters were everywhere, with miles of white sand beach to stroll along while gazing at the blue-green water.
Mondello Beach lies at the foot of beautiful Mount Pellegrino, which we have drank our share of water from. In Italian, the carbonated water is known as "acqua fizzante". It travels a long way to make it to our fridge, so we now have a whole new perspective.
Mondello used to be an old fishing village, but in the last century it has become a residential area compared to South Beach, Miami. We found ourselves trying to figure out, if we sold everything we owned and liquidated the 401Ks, could we buy one of these mansions on the beach? Probably not by the looks of the yachts floating just off shore!

Have you really been gone a whole month?? That genuine Italian gelato sounds great, can you bring some home with you? If you buy a mansion on the sea we will promise to visit often! We are enoying the travel pix and commentary, please keep it up!
