Yesterday and Today.

Yesterday was "S. Giuseppe" (aka) Fathers day! And because of S.Giuseppe, I didn't have school! ALRIGHT! Yesterday was a great day, my dad had to work (booooo) so me and my mom spent the day watching movies!!!! We watched... "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief", "Alice in Wonderland", and "New Moon"!!!!!!!! All three of them were great!!!!!

Lately I have been reading the book "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" and it's really good!

Today we went to "Cefalu"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is soooooo cool...it's kind of like Montalbano! But maybe cooler! haha Here's some pic's:

Cefalu!

The beach

Looking at the view...
Cool!

You can see the church...

Well that's all for now...I'm tired, as you can see from our long day. All these pictures you saw now are only PART 1!!!!! Okay...bye!

The Tindari

(Don't know why this one is smaller than all of them) This is the, Tindari! It's the big church on the hill! Isn't it big...and beautiful?
Getting closer!!!

So cool! You can even see the cross on the top!

Front of the church (Tindari), so big!

This was on a trail, next to the, Tindari...it's cool huh?

We had to walk up to the, Tindari. Only buses and people who live up in the town (called, Tindari, because of the chruch) are a loud to drive up. So unfare! But it was fun, my cousins came with us!

More of Montalbano!

The first sign on the top says...MONTALBANO!!!!

The way getting there was easy but getting through the town...not so much!

Isn't this beautiful? This was taken in the town square.

And then this right here is a picture of the (really big) castle in Montalbano. It's really big...I have to get a bigger picture of it or maybe I have one...

I don't know!

Did I say in the last post that Montalbano is in the moustains? Well it is!

Montalbano!

Montalbano is so big and so cool.

So here is some pics to show you how cool it really is!

I'm at the top of the world! Really, Montalbano is on a tall and big mountain. My dad was afraid we were going to fall off on the way there!

Isn't this thing cool? Well I shouldn't call it a thing, someone lives here...this is a house!

Cool, right were I want to live...on a cliff right next to a giant castle.

Well, only the castle part was true! Maybe someday I can live and own one!

Sweet, that would make me royal...right?

Card Castles

Ok, so you've seen real castles now it's time to see some card castle's me and my cousin made.

Around Christmas me and my cousin, Salvatore, were really bored so we desided to make a castle out of cards. He made the first floor and I made the second. Yeah, he got the easy part and left me with the hard (going to fall) part! (LOL)

I also wanted to say I finished "The Tail of Emily Windsnap"!!!! I don't want to ruin anything for anyone who wants to read the book or is reading the book. So all I can say is that she lived happily ever after! THE END!

Reading...

Lately I've been reading "The Tail of Emily Windsnap".
It's a story about a girl who has never been in the water fully. (like a bath or swimming). The first time she was ever in the water fully, she starts feeling like her legs are coming together.
Later, she told herself and her mother that she is never going in the water again. A couple of nights later she goes back into the water and it's happening AGAIN! She tries to get out of the water but she's stuck. Then, she notices that she is has a tail and that SHE'S A MERMAID!
I don't know if Emily's mother is a mermaid too. But in the book it said that her mother hates going in the water. DOES THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING? But I have to find out more but I'm only on the 5th chapter. And there are 11 more to go (16 chapters).
I love reading expesally mysteries...

After Emily found out she was a mermaid she ran into another mermaid named Shona Silkfin. Shona had never seen a human with legs before...when they first met they didn't like each other very much. But then they became best friends...I wish I could have a friend like that!

Cool looking things...

This house below looks really cool doesn't it? It also looks new but it's not for sale. While I was

taking this picture the owners' dog was barking at me! And it was
a really big dog too!

And this below here is a picture of the ocean. And of houses below

us. All the houses here are 2,3, maybe at the most 4 levels...it's crazy! The apartment we are living
in now is 4 or maybe 3 levels. But
then we have 1 in the back of us,
And my friend, Selene, leaves next

to us.

These pictures here are just pictures of the island and the ocean...I love
taking pictures off these kind of things!

How old is the Earth?

Usually people don't think of the earth having an age. But really the earth is 3.8 to 4.5 billion years old. Wow! I wish I could live to be that old!
But how is it possibile to find this stuff out? The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

The difference in how old the Earth could be is enormous, but unless there is clear evidence, who can really say how old the Earth is.

For Christmas...

For Christmas I got a Wii!! I always wanted one! I also have a Wii fit board, Wii Sports (Game), Wii Play and a snowboard game! I had to buy a new conroller (as you can see in the picture) to get Wii Play. But that isn't the only reason why I got it. I needed another one in case one of my cousins come's over to play. That way we could play against each other.
I got a used Wii. Why? Because it's cheaper. Where did I get it? I got it at "Game Stop". I was really suprised to find one here. It's inside this store called ,Ipercoop. That is the only one we have found and I don't think we are going to find anymore here!

I also got a bike for Christmas! I always wanted one of them too. I got a Mt bike, that has a bell, and a place to put a water bottle. My bike is pink. "Of corse" I have only gotten to ride it twice so far. Because after the First time I rode it I got a flat! So I pumped it up and went again the next day and I got another flat! And I haven't been able to ride it since!

Pretty...

Don't you just love flowers? I do, I think flowers are the most beautiful think in the world. That and babies.

I took this picture while we were exploring a town.

The other day while we were leaving Mt. Etna. We saw this town near by. So we drove over to it, and stated walking around. After

we started walking around we noticed the town was abandoned.

This picture is a picture of a church that they started but never

finished.

As you can see in these pictures someone started it but never finished. Probably ran out of money or something.

I wonder what this town would have looked like if it were finshed.

Another thing that I think is pretty is the sun rising. I took this picture while everyone was sleeping!!!

I wish I could have a picture of the sun setting but I don't! Sorry.
