Wife and I were pretty beat up after our two mega days in Palermo. We had pretty much decided that today, Sunday would be a rest day. However, when we looked at the weather, we saw today was going to be a great day whereas Monday is supposed to suck. We leave for our next stop on Tuesday. We rearranged our agenda.
Today we were focusing on photography. It has been a long time since that had been the focus. When you are actively running around and looking for specific things to see, your focus is not on photography itself, it is using photography to capture visuals for the blog story.
I went back over a number of past posts when we took photographic workshops. I was surprised at how much I'd forgotten. Then I decided I would use one of our special lens, a 17mm fixed lens. It has certain characteristics. But primary is it is more wide angle, it has better detail capture, and it doesn't zoom so you have to adjust by moving yourself and by post-editing.
But before we went out, we had our Sunday big lunch. We went back to a place we were at on Friday because we liked it so much and is supper close to our place. We were not disappointed. This is the first really good and consistent restaurant experience we've had on this trip. We plan to go again on Monday before we leave.
Dinner
We love the outdoor Mediterranean dining experience
First Course - Smoked Salmon & Swordfish
Mains - Whole Grilled Sea Bream and Grilled Lamb Chops
Sides - Wonderful Fried Potatoes & Grilled Vegetables
I haven't talked much about price but even with inflation eating out here is a bargain. With a glass of wine the meal was $64.
On to Photography!
Catching the Atmosphere of the Seaside Town
Long Distance of the Forts with the 17mm is a challenge
Cefalú Cathedral (also an important site for the Norman, Roger II)
Sheesh. Someone's always a critic.

would have been a lot less picturesque in the pouring rain, I imagine!
