Yesterday we went to Falcone and walked on the beach. It has sand. That's a rarity here. It felt really weird getting sand on my feet. Yesterday was a beautiful day.

This past weekend...
Early Thursday afternoon we lost our phone line which includes our internet connection! The whole weekend w/o a phone or computer!!! It wasn't that bad! lol
No one calls us anyway!
Saturday we decided to take a ride and we got stopped by the carabinieri.
They routinely pull cars over (here in Sicily) and check the paperwork. Since we are moving back to the US, we are not going to get Italian drivers licenses. That was the only thing they said that Frank needed to do since the International DL was running out in October. I think they were surprised that Frank had a carta d'identita, which is the official ID for citizens. I have one too!
This photo does not resemble the men here. They were dressed in the complete uniform. They looked pretty spiffy! Even with the sidearms! AND they drive this car!
An Alfa Romeo...which is like the cops in PA driving a Lexus. It is an expensive car. They were very nice and the whole thing took just a few minutes and then we were on our way.

Space Shuttle
Have your children seen a space shuttle take off into space? I ask this because Atlantis went up the other day for the last time. Only 2 more shuttles will blast off into space and then the program will be over! My youngest had never seen this. We watched it together and she thought it was cool!

Boy was I praying that it wouldn't explode! Remember Challenger?

I am surprised that the American schools don't take a minute to turn on the TVs and let the children watch history being made. Why? I think it's important. Do you?
While I was growing up in the 60's going into space was a BIG DEAL! It was exciting. We had space food and trips to the Johnson Space Center. Now what is there? Do kids today know who was the first American in space or even that the Americans weren't the first people in space? Who were the first men on the moon?
Check out the videos with your kids! The internet is so wonderful for things like this!!

Primary Day in Pennsylvania
If I was in PA I would not be voting since Independents aren't allowed to vote in primaries. What a shame that is but I hope that the Democrats are not casting their votes for Arlen Specter. The man is 80 years old and has been in the Senate since 1980. Time to stay home!
He was a Democrat, then switched to Republican, then last year jumped back to be a Democrat. What is up with that?? He's a flip-flopper!
He voted for every TARP and Bailout that came down the line.
I don't know much about Sestak but he's got to be a better choice!
