brief highlight

saw a 6-year-old Sicilian boy riding a pony in rush hour through Porta Nuova, Palermo's busy arched entrance to the old city (Toronto traffic equivalent to the Gardiner Expressway). He was with his elementery school buddies and he was crying his head off. Can't say I blamed him.... his tiny steed couldn't have been more than 2.5 ft tall. (something about horsepower?)

I also saw a 2500 year-old Greek temple in Segesta. That was cool too. But it had no live animals.

Tomorrow - Florence!
