Cefalu

After our visit to Savoca, we made a visit to the famous town of Cefalu.  Here, in the center of the town, is a famous cathedral.  The art work is similar to Mondeale and the Palatine in Palermo.

August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  This Catholic feast day is celebrated with a lot of joy in Trappeto because it is the most important Marian feast day of the village. There has been a lot of celebrating since last night with a procession and fireworks. There will be a large boat procession tonight followed by more fireworks.   My sister had to leave us today.  It was great to have her with us.  

Tomorrow will be kind of catch up day.  Above all, we need to get some laundry done.  On Saturday, we will be doing a day long tour of the most important historical spots in Palermo.
