First Day in Sicily

We figured out the internet in the house- Gerlando is a wiz with computers, he set it up in minutes. Today we drove around Favara, got bread and a small dictionary for translations, and went to see the school. 

From my balcony I can see the Mediterranean, which I was very happy about. I live on the sixth floor of a pretty much empty apartment building. Our neighbors are all Scibetta's, who own the supermarket next door. 

Last night I met all of Gerlando's friends. They were really excited to meet me, and bombarded me with questions like "do you like Kiss/ Pink Floyd/ Pamela Anderson/ ACDC/ etc" and "are you an activist?" I answered yes. They were all very nice and funny and lively. 

We had pizza last night when I got in. Delicious. Gerlando is designing a layout for the blog, so coming soon a new and improved Zander in Italy.com! 

Ok its time for pranzo, ciao!

Hey Zander--It all sounds so great. We were really excited to get to see you on Skype last night--I think that tool will make all of us here very happy. Glad you like Pamela Anderson. I wonder how long it will be before you are able to turn all your new friends onto the other, more real layers of American culture like David Hasselhof and Baywatch.
I love you. Dad
