Update

Well all is going well; once again time seems to pass fast and slow all at once :) I am working nights right now so that has taken a toll on my sleeping patterns and with everything in the city closed by 9pm, leaves not too much for me to explore with the exception of my long weekends off. 

Mt Etna has snow already! I am so bummed :( Its been cooler the last few weeks, but no need for heat just yet. Every day driving home I am reminded winter will be coming sooner than I think. The rain has subsided for a few weeks now, so there is a perk :)


I got to travel to Egypt over Columbus Day weekend with a few friends. It was a short trip organized through the on base travel agency; leaving Catania on Saturday afternoon for Cairo and returned on Monday. It was a great deal though; all inclusive hotel, food, entrance fee's, etc...Cairo was a very interesting city to visit with amazing food and hospitality at the big hotels and of course the Pyramids and Spynx as well as Egyptian Museum, a papyrus making factory and a perfume oil gallery with blown glass. It was a packed, and exciting get away. Almost forgot; of course a trip to Egypt is not complete without a Camel ride :) hahaha...

Happy Birthday to my brother Ben! And Happy Halloween to everyone as well!
