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!

Castles in Oliveri and Brolo

My cousin, Pippa, said that a prince lives in this castle. (above us)
Me and my mom are excited to go see it. But my dad doesn't want to go see it (he's afraid of small driveways). It is a very big castle but it is also a very old castle. Who knows how old it could be!?!?

The other day we went to a town in Sicily called Brolo. It was beautiful! Just a minute ago I was looking for a picture online of the castle above (in Oliveri), but I couldn't find anything. But I did find this:http://www.castles-for-sale.com/sale/Sicily/index.htm It's a website of the castle in Brolo. The castle is for sale. You want to know how much they are selling it for? Asking Price: $1,600,000.00 US
My goodness! I would only pay them €5...because that's all I have!

When we were in Brolo I went to the beach and I saw a volcanic rock. (probably from a volcano).

And I just thought how cool! Ya know?!?!

PEACE OUT SUCKER...I LIVE IN ITALY!

I love the beach! I think the beach is the most wonderful thing in Sicily!

La Befana

Today, here in Sicily is "Befana day". Today I went to get a present from the Befana and when I got there it was crazy! Tons of kids running around, singing and dancing. OMG!!! Just now I got a game and some candy. I can't wait to play the game!

La Befana is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy.

The character may have originated in central Italy, then spread as a tradition to the rest of Italy.

Many of you may think that La Befana is Santa Claus. But she's not...here they have both,Santa Claus and La Befana. First, comes Santa Claus then La Befana!!!!

If you don't understand here is a bioagraphy about La Befana:http://www.factmonster.com/dictionary/brewers/befana.html

Tiny Town!!!!

We had to go through a "tiny town" to get to MT Etna. But I say it was worth it! The streets wear really "tiny". As we were coming down from MT

Etna we ran into a bus!!!! My mom thought we
weren't going to make it!!!!!!!

This picture right here is of the center of the town. This is the largest street in the town.

Look how small this street is!Sometimes in other towns the streets are even smaller!

My mom was worried that we wouldn't fit!!!!

Merry Christmas... + our trip to MT Etna

Sorry I haven't been posting our stupid internet got disconnected or something. So we had no internet for 2 weeks!
Merry Christmas!!! I hope you all had a white Christmas!
For Christmas we went to MT Etna!!!!!
This right here is me (next to or near) MT Etna.
The wind was in my hair and all over me that day I glad I got this

picture!
In these pictures you can see the snow on MT Etna (it's like the
only snow in the whole Sicily. Here in Sicily we never get snow
never! The only snow here in Sicily

is the snow you see.
See how big it is? It is very big I mean giant. Everytime we see it, it is always smokeing! ALWAYS!!!

'Course it's a valcano so that explans

why.

On our way to MT Etna we had to go through a town...a town with very small streets! I have pictures of them just not today. But I do have a picture of a statue. I have

no idea who it is of. But it is still cool, I mean who knows how long it was there. Right?

It is very small but you can still see it, right?

We also saw 2 more statues but I forgot to take a picture and we were going to fast.

Well that's all from Sicily!

Baaaaaa

We were out for a drive the other day, and we saw all these sheep there were so many of them, it was like a sheep farm (probably where they were coming from). It was so cool I have never seen anything like it before! And I may never see anything like it again.

After they left there was tons of pooh on the road it was so smelly but yet still cool.

Io Vado (I go)
