Music in the Air in Palermo, Italy

The bambino has it right. The troubadour is mesmerizing, and this wee baby would not take their eyes off of the musician playing a soulful tune here in Palermo, Italy. We then wander to Parco d’Orléans where a little girl amuses herself on a park structure while singing to herself. Would we have paused and taken in these moments had we not become full-time travelers? I think our lives were too busy to be fully present to such beauty.

We visited both Napoli and Palermo as our first destinations as full-time travelers. We loved them both.
