Una bottiglia d'acqua

That sentence means one bottle of water... basically the only thing I can say in Italian. 
 
Yesterday upon arriving we claimed our baggage and where missing the hand luggage the airline asked us to check at the gate... SURPRISE.
So we head towards the lost and found and there off to the side is a gang of employees so I approach a lady and tell her I've lost my bag. She gives me this blank stare. Points at my suitcase and says what's in there... "clothes?" And points at Matteos "clothes." I tell her I lost my hand luggage, she then points off to the side and I follow thinking she's going to help me. No. She then decides to strip my bag. Listen lady if I was smuggling drugs into your country I would not have approached you. 😂. Anyways she realized fast that when I meant clothes I actually meant clothes. CIAO.



Today we woke up at 3am for a flight to Sicily. This city is beyond beautiful!!!! 
However we went to this fish market and I literally almost threw up. Fish heads everywhere it was nothing like the tame Seattle fish market we know. I had to run out of there because of the smell and there's matteo left behind laughing his ass off. Thanks for the support babe. I've put a lot of our surroundings on Instagram story if any of you are turly interested in what I have to say.

Here's a couple of pictures from Catania today.
 


    

We finished off the day at the beach followed by a major jet lagged sleep. Following a dinner at 9pm in the city with Matteo's parents friends and kids!
The food here is unbelieveable but I need to learn to stop eating so much damn bread. But it's BREAD. 
 
   

I also took a picture inside a church... which I found out is a huge no no. But hey I can't read the signs.

Ciao dall'Italia

Hello friends and family!
I have decided to venture back into this world of blogging as I did when I was in South Africa with Nikki!

I'm extremely exhausted and my ankles have formed into "kankles" from the flight, probably didn't help that Don Falconer and I drank to much wine the night before but hey you only live once. 
Yes sarah #yolo
 
 
I'm off to bed after a beautiful delicious dinner that Matteos Dad prepared for us. I even saw my first fire fly tonight! Yes I sound like an excited little girl.
