We have been very busy getting settled in here in Sigonella. Things are starting to come together. The car arrived a few days early and we finally moved into our house. All our personal
property that we shipped will come Monday 30th of June. We are happy to be getting our house in order since we packed up in Middletown on May 5th. We upgraded to a new camera (GoPro) so some the pictures will seem strange due to the wide angle effect. We will get that adjusted and keep on sharing.
Coffee bar in Motta, the closest real town to where we are living. Enjoying a Sunday morning out.
This is the Navy pool which was located just outside the hotel on base that we stayed at for 3 weeks. The family got to spend lots of time here cooling off and getting the kids out of the room.
The girls are complete "water dogs" they love swimming above or below.
Deanna testing the deep end.

Thanks to one of the other officers here, this little car got us around while waiting on the Honda. Great little car and a joy to park on crowded streets.
The arrival of the "tested one". We were super happy to receive our car here in Sigonella. The girls ran up to it giving it hugs. This is our new house, which we love. It is one of only two stand alone houses on base and we have it. More to come later on the house.
We took a trip this morning to Caltagirone, which is about 45 minutes away and had a nice Sunday out with the locals. I have had a great time with the Sicilian people. They are friendly, fun and helpful.
These are the famous stairs of Caltagirone. There are 142 steps in all and offer views of the city.
Lunch at a local Trattoria. We were at the city square talking to some older Italian gentlemen asking about a nice place to eat. They not only suggested a spot, but walked us to the building. This is what I was referring to the nice people to Sicily. The food was good and had more fun talking the cook and others in the restaurant.
Another pic of the house...
The view from the deck/car port...and the kitchen window.
