I think my English isn´t good enough to do this.
I can only say:

1. I hate Palermo because i had to drive a car.
2. You must have a "Granita con Brioche" in the Bar Vitelli !
3. The owner of "Castello degli Schiavo" isn´t my friend (because he don´t let me go inside)
4. Villa Malfatino (GF3) in Palermo is only open till 13:00.
5. Sicilian women are looking amazed when you kneel down on the steps of "Cieasa S´Lucia"
6. I love Sicily.

You did fine with your English. And yes, please post more photos of your trip.

Did you get to go to the town up in Taormina?

I don't know if you saw my post in this thread, but I recently returned from Italy myself and posted some pictures. If you care to see them then just CLICK HERE FOR A LINK to that post.

Thank you.

@ Don Cardi

I think we was in Taormina nearly every evening. There are a lot of good restaurants....(anyway parking in Taormina is a desaster).
I saw your post. Nice pictures. We was in Rome, Viterbo and Toskana in 2002. At this time I don´t know that they filmed the confession scene (GF3) in Viterbo (near Rome). F*ck

Die Restaurants sind phantastisch.

Kloesie,

Very beautiful pictures. Do you remember what the name of the church is and what city? It looks like one I may have seen (in pictures)before.

Welcome to the BB. I'm glad after browsing for two years you finally joined. There's always room and welcome for more members from different parts of the world. \:\)

Don't worry at all about your English. You did very good. Sometimes even those of us who know they language can mess it up pretty badly. Anyway, Welcome!!!

Klo,

Great pics! Nice composition. I have German roots. Near Hamburg and the Elba River. A town called (I think) Efelfleth (sounds like that anyway.) Welcome to the BB.
