Kayaking---

The other day we all went kayaking on the Med... It was BEAUTIFUL!
We went around these islands (placed there by a giant, I'm told.)

Anyway, the water was so clear. Cliff diving... Swimming... boating... you name it- it was there.

I also learned the word for JELLYFISH! ...It's medusa... incase someone ever yells this word at you... GET OUT OF THE WATER! Yikes.

Coffee Lessons...

Haha, Sorry the pics were not satisfactory, Beebo!

--Hey! Who left that gypsy-fox comment!??? Haha, it made me laugh.



NEWS...
Last night Wolf, Marcelo, Emilio, Bernetta (GIRL!!!!), Angela (GIRL!!!!!), and myself went to this live music thing... It was so ridiculously funny. They were covering older American music. It was great.
I think every single old person in the town came out to dance. (When I say OLD... I mean it because sometimes the old people don't look old... so when they DO... well, you can imagine.)
Here is some of what they were playing:
"I feel good! nanananananana" ....Oh the singalongs.

After that we left for another place but I was feeling too tired to dig it so I ended up leaving home early... but unfortunatley some freak of nature locked the corridor door... Not a big deal seeing as I've got the key-- Wouldn't have been a big deal if they key WORKED! Gosh... it ended up breaking off in the keyhole... Wonderful, yea?
So then Daniele made like 10 thousand calls and I ended up sleeping in one of Emilio's vacant apartments on the other side of town vicino HIS bed and breakfast.
Good times, good times.
SO! This morning...

School went well. yesterday's class was on Coffee (The culture portion)... go figure.
Today it was good food. Went to a cafè with Alice (teacher) and got some granita fragola... similar to strawberry water ice. It's an extremely popular breakfast food.
After lessons I went home to find the door FIXED! Woohoo!!!! I slept a bit and then walked over here to use the net because I had nothing better to do...

If there's no one to talk to at any moment in time, I enjoy coming to Daniele's Bed and Breakfast to chat with some locals... Hahaha-- Totally NOT something I'd do at home, and YES- When I think about how I'm being a feel like a BIG GEEK. ...but that's alright I suppose.

Okay so, that's it I think... Oh boun Compleano, Wolf! Woohoo!

I'm going to see if Renee has any more pictures up and I'll post 'em.

Piazza Duomo

Things they love to eat in Catania... Horse.

(And just for your information... yes, it's gross... Sweet.)

Random bulding in town

If I ever get lost... I just look around for this... Can't miss it.

Okay well....
I got to school this morning bright and early (by Italian standards...)
finished up with that and I think that at 18.30 I have a cooking thing to go to followed by a movie and probably a "discotech" ....Yea. or maybe even a "Cool-V.I.P.-party"

Anyhow--- At the moment I'm living totally by myself... I have no idea where the house mate Daniele went but I have seen him since yesterday morning.



I went to this place last night... some random dance place, with the crew (Emilio, MArcello, Wolf, etc.) and it was totally wild. (I was extremely shocked to find Daniele NOT there.)
Afterwards I went with Gaetano and his girlfriend Alessandra to go get some food... Got home sometime this morning...

I feel like almost everyday has been like this since Renee went back home to Australia...
Alright I best be off to change it up and go cooking so...

KEEP THE COMMENTS ROLLING!

P.S. my Italian is improving... a lot.

A lazzzy day in Catania... Sortof.

Hey there!
This is the first day I've had a free moment to even breath!!!
These Italians are crazy, you know. It's like partying is there job so I'm always trying to find a way to chill out a bit and find some internet.
Not much is new here I guess... I've met TONS of people!
Guiseppe, Alessandro, Paolo, Wolf, Marcello... etc etc.
The cool thing is... I've spent virtually NO money food... Yea, it's a blessing.
I havenàt had to get more money out of the bank of anything because Italians are fond of buying me food... lots and lots of food... all of the time.

Other things that are new... Hmm.
Daniele has let up quite a bit. He's not trying to keep me locked up or anything now. Hahaha.
--Also, I have a pretty good grasp on the town now. I can get just about anywhere via bus or foot.

They have this grand fish market almost every morning in piazza Duomo; it's super cool.

Greg-- I'm working on those pictures... Hahaha. No worries.


You all should be jealous of this food... it's absolutely delicious.

Gotta hit the road!

The stories uùare just getting better.
