http://fletchersitalianadventure.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Monday, January 29, 2007. New week, New trip. We love Italy. This weekend we went on another trip with the base tour company. This trip was to the castle at Carini (which means pretty) up on the northern coast of Sicily past Palermo. You probably (oops, I meant you don't. Need to know that except to know that we were on the coast. But then.we went to the town of Sferracavallo (try saying that three times fast). Plus a little more? Anyway, it was a gre...

Well, what do you know.Im back. On ordering for school from Sicily. Rainy season in Sicily. A frustration not just for Sicily. What a wonderful season. We went for a walk. Catania, Sicily, Italy. Never been to Italy before. Who'd'a thunk a farm girl from Kansas would have the opportunity to live in Italy?

http://fletchersitalianadventure.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. Two posts in a week? We're not really that interesting. Just a fluke. On Father's Day we went with friends to Castle Moela. A town above Taormina. Is a world-renowned tourist spot with beautiful beaches, an ancient Greek/Roman amphitheater. And, of course, lots of shopping; art, antiques, clothes (expensive but beautiful), souvenirs, and plenty of places to eat and drink. Page in a few days. This final photo is of a small pia...

The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Well, what do you know.I'm back. The doctors say I can go back to Sicily to finish out the school year so on May 8 we will be boarding an airplane to go "home." I have truly missed that place, the countryside, the towns and villages, the wonderful Italian friends, the American friends from the base. I am really getting excited. God does work in mysterious ways. Posted by Bob and Marianne at 3:16 PM. Rainy season in Sicily.

The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Sunday, February 18, 2007. Oops, I forgot an important part. Okay, I'm trying again. I thought I had the important "stuff" covered with the last post until I started looking, again, at the photos. So I wanted to add more. I didn't want you to miss this. We really must go back. Posted by Bob and Marianne at 12:40 PM. A bit of this and that. Just a few thoughts before we tell about our latest adventure in Sicily. Another thought. Fun is fun no matte...

fletchersitalianadventure: going back to Sicily
http://fletchersitalianadventure.blogspot.com/2009/04/going-back-to-sicily.html
The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Saturday, April 25, 2009. Going back to Sicily. In two weeks we'll be on planes headed for Sicily. Bob is a little worried because, as we got our tickets in two different ways, we will not be traveling together. He is concerned that I will not feel well and he won't be there to take care of me. He's been so great during this whole situation that he'll worry until he sees me safe in Sicily. Posted by Bob and Marianne at 1:09 AM. Yeah for you again!

The joys (and a few frustrations) in moving to Italy. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. On spending time with some wonderful Italian people. For last Saturday evening we invited Giusseppi and Mimma for a pizza dinner at Donna Fortunata (restaurant in town, i.e. Motta) and since then we've spent much time with their friends and family. The pizza at DF is typically Sicilian (would we expect anything else? Bob and I brought the dessert and it was wildly popular. The Sicilians don't have anything like. We went to the...

We are not posting pictures of us at Christmas because we look the same as usual, just different jammies. However, here are a few pictures of our impressions of Christmas in Sicily. Disclaimer: This is the viewpoint of us as we spend our third Christmas season in Sicily, not as tourism advocates. On Sunday we went to...
