Wally's World... no no no, were going to Etnaland

      Today was soooooooooooo much fun. But first I'll explain yesterday. I woke up at 10 and had a meeting with my rotary counselor finally. We talked about insurance and other such things. He asked me my first impression of Siracusa, and the only thing I could think of is hot, but there are so many better things to say. After that I went back home and waited for Pier to get up cause he sleeps in late, but I'm not saying it's a bad thing cause I'de do the same thing in a heartbeat. Once he got up we had lunch (pranzo) and then Pier, Gianmarco, and I went to a huge soccer field out in the almost deserted part of town (or so it seems). I wasn't going to play in their match, but next time I've been invited to play, so I'm gonna go defensive like in gym class. They did the full hour and a half then we left and went back to the house for a while. At 8pm we went back to Gianmarco's house and met up with other people and all went out to a panineria. I had a sausage and pepper sandwich, but there was alot of stuff to choose from. After waiting forever for the food to be done (everything with cooking takes forever because it's all done fresh), we went to a gelateria then back to Gianmarco's house. Now something funny about Italian boys, they talk and talk and talk in Italian, but curse in English. I don't mind except for the fact that their English grammer is not good, so they don't use the curses correctly. So after singing 'Getting to Know You', I became teacher and help them out a bit. Well to say, now they know a bit more about Englishes bad side.
      Me and Pier got back to the house around 12 and hit the hay. We both woke up around 8:30am and left for a Sicilian water-park called Etnaland. Needless to say, it's less than 10 miles from Mt. Etna and has the regal mountain hovering right over it. I slept all the way there and woke up with a WOW finally being next to the mountain that on the new yesterday was erupting. We got into the park and found a spot to sit down, and I didn't bring my camera in for fear of theft and water, so go on google and you can find Etnaland. Now what, pray tell, is better than a wave-pool in a water-park. I'll tell you.... almost 1000 Italians in the same pool going crazy over outragious club music. This will be my video of the post, and would like to say that I was in this very pool and was in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Afterwards we went on home and now I'm sitting here typing, so I'll see you later.... yes I mean you at your computer. CIAO!
