The first four days in Sicily were spent out of Palermo. The pictorial highlights include the usual churches, ruins, shops and products. The first pictures are of the Fontana Pretoria, often referred to as the Fountain of Shame ’cause all the human figures are naked. The earliest Olympics 600 years BC in Greece were all run in the buff. It was clearly a different era. Clothes were not warehoused in walk-in closets, and automatic washers and driers were a few years away.
