Caltagirone Market
It was pouring rain yesterday and this morning, though crisp was nice just a few clouds in the distance. Randy and Anne decided to head to the Saturday market for some fresh fruits and veggies. After only a few minutes of being there...... the rain started coming down and not just rain, but hail too. You can see in one of the pictures the hail next to the fennel root. Lucky the guys at the formaggi (cheese) truck had a tent over them!! We had to hurry through the rest of our shopping but it was a beautiful experience. We do love living in Sicily.

Christmas present
Cameron got a Lego Technic Off-Roader for Christmas. It is for ages 11-16, but I am sure it is not for over 30 because parents don't have the patience for something like this. It has 1097 pieces with motorized suspension, head lights and motorized winch. I couldn't believe how much patience our son had to put this together. It took probably 8 hours of work over a 3 day period, putting little piece into little piece. I am so proud of Cameron for completing it. There is a bit of a problem with the winch, so I think we are going to take it apart again and reput it together.

Palermo
We spent one night in Palermo. It would have been more fun if Randy and Anne hadn't had colds. We had a great time with the taxi tour, who knew you could fit 9 people plus a driver in an 7 passenger taxi?!! We toured many of the attractions Palermo had to offer including churches, historical monuments and the catacombs. Couldn't take pictures at"the Capuchin Catacombes", but look at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capuchin_catacombs_of_Palermo.
Happy 2010
With 2009 gone, it is time to begin the New Year. We are looking forward to another 1.5 years here in Sigonella, Sicily, Italy.
We had fun New Year party. Thanks all for coming.
