Hope you get your trip sorted soon! Thank you, nunyaa. You would find it fascinating! Dear M, I can well imagine how hard it was for your Dad. You just MUST come over! Jmb, I do agree that the Sicilians are among the most hospitable people I have ever met. Maybe that's why I feel at home with them, because it's a Welsh characteristic too. Hi, Anne. Keep on at hubby! Ciao, James. Yes, it takes time but it's worth it. WW, how right you are!

My Dad was always first Sicilian and second Italian. He moved here and fell in love with my Mom and suffered greatly being so far away from home. My love for Sicily comes from him.<BR/><BR/>As an American I am Sicilian and I am Italian and would love to move away from here one day! <BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>MMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04170401447671532001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-50604427165635706252008-07-08T03:09:00.000+02:002008-07-08T03:09:00.000+02:00The updates on Sicilian life you provide, is enoug...The updates on Sicilian life you provide, is enough to make me want to experience it as well, even with the current water problems :-)Nunyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627939958188041617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-40001302783795541062008-07-08T03:05:00.000+02:002008-07-08T03:05:00.000+02:00I always say I'm Sicilian...maybe that's where I g...I always say I'm Sicilian...maybe that's where I get my disdain for rules, regulations and institutions, haha.

The moment an Englishman shows any national pride he is branded a racist, a social infection that the Italians have been spared.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820269114208456064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-44468841266424504052008-07-08T00:05:00.000+02:002008-07-08T00:05:00.000+02:00I think most sensible Brits would love to exit the...I think most sensible Brits would love to exit the country!CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.com
