BENVENUTI A SIGONELLA

WE'RE HERE! Mi dispiace, I'm sorry it's taken so long for an update, but we just got Internet today! So far, we've been pretty busy! We got to move in to our house immediately! It's nice especially because they're now apparently out of houses for people. So we lucked out...or we just have the best sponsors ever (Mike and Renee)!

So basically we're just spending our days in INDOC classes to teach us all about Sigonella and what we're supposed to do and how to "fit in". In the evenings we're spending time visiting local restaurants, some of them out in town.

The coolest thing here so far the volcano....hands down! You may live near the ocean or the grand canyon or some pretty mountains...whatever....

WE LIVE IN VIEW OF AN ACTIVE VOLCANO!

And as if that wasn't enough...

There's a castle silouetted in front of the volcano.

It rules.

Besides the volcano, another obvious notable is the Medusa symbol for Sicily. It looks like this:



It's not my favorite thing, but it's everywhere. From what I've heard, there are 3 legs because the island has 3 sides and they used to think the island turned around. (Renee says they thought it turned b/c they were drinking too much wine, ha!)

Ok we're off to bed. We've got more INDOC in the AM. Before you go though CHECK THIS OUT CLICK HERE! It's a video we saw in driving class today, and it may help you to understand the difference between Italy and the rest of Europe! Enjoy! Ciao for now!
