We took a long drive around Etna (didn't do the group thing up it since I prefer to stay away from group activitives) and went to lots of the hill and lava towns, though we didn't have time to hang out I longed to do so. Maybe next time. Lucky you to get to live there!

Some of those cultures definitely traveled across the ocean with the the emigrants. Others like the women who had to face the door when they sat outside (do they still do that?) were very strange.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456734276020287727noreply@blogger.com
