Palermo 2007

One of the most famous neighborhoods of BA, Palermo is also a regular hangout for artists, artisans and students. I had much fun, and met many very friendly people here.

The only constant is
change
Heraclitus of Ephesus (c.535 BC - 475 BC)





I met these two University students, and they could not speak English, and I could hardly speak Spanish, but we still had a blast.

Portenos love their dogs, and take them everywhere.


People hangout all night long, even until daybreak.


Bro and I met two more students, and we all had great laughs communicating to some degree.

Silveria could speak some basic English, but her friend could not at all.



Will I ever stop falling in love? I sure hope not.

Silveria and Esteban.
Am I too old? Of course!!

La Baita displays modern art. Every business has paintings or sculptures, modern, classical; there are no limits. I think the only rule is that no building can go without some art.

I only scratched the surface regarding the Palermo experience. There are several great restaurants, coffee houses and bistros spread out for many blocks, and I loved every one that I did get to sample. La Baita had great fare, and Bro and I went back several times just for their outstanding lasagna.
