ZAFFERANA OTTOBRATA 09

I can't believe it's Fall again and we've officially been here in Italy for a whole year! It's gone by so fast! I loooove this time of the year, and it's even better in Sicily. There are so many wonderful festivals to enjoy, like the Zafferana Ottobrata! The town of Zafferana is a small mountain town on Mt Etna. They have an Octoberfest every year. We enjoyed it so much last year that Mahlon, Dexter, Trish and I headed up the mountain for the festivities again this year!

One of the best parts were the fire roasted chestnuts! I couldn't resist! And they were just as good as grandpa used to make them. It was the perfect piping hot snack to enjoy while we walked around in the freezing cold :o)

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures this year but here are some things we saw:




A radio station was doing a remote in the middle of the main square! That's the first time I've ever seen that here and I was really excited!



This was right out front of the stand where we ate...sausage panini. Gross!



What a great dog! He posed for a picture for me. He must be used to it! This little guy was the biggest team Catania fan I've ever seen!



But this by far was the cutest thing I saw all night:
