Who Impacted Sicilian Culture the Most?

http://philome.la/emstudentacount/who-impacted-sicilian-culture-the-most Here is the link to the “game” I created for my final project to see who they choose to be most influential to Sicilian culture. Essentially this game is completely dependent on the person playing it and their answer choices. Questions are given and the player must choose the choice they think they align…

One on one interview with Davide

Something that interested me about Sicilian culture was how the school system worked and in turn how that affected the type of job a person had. I interviewed a 32 year old man named Davide to learn about his school process and how he acquired and kept a successful job in the suffering job market…

Flight of a Lifetime

I have been on many plane flights in my life, but the plane flight a few of us took for our free weekend from Palermo to Pisa was something I have never experienced before.

Sometimes you just have to slow down

All trip my friends have been raving about how good the cannolis are here. Knowing my sweet tooth I was certain I would like it. Yesterday, after our site visit, we got back at 6:30 which meant we still had a full hour to make it to the best cannoli stand in Cefalú. I ordered…

Beach or Business Place?

https://vanderbilt.box.com/s/xfptf9u2coi9ghtpo58ukw732u9l3gd2 Today, May 15th around 5 o’clock, I went to the beach to observe the interactions at the beach. Something that really stands out here in Cefalù that does not happen at the beaches at home in San Diego are the vendors that consistently bombard you with their products.

Maybe History Isn’t Too Bad

Being a science major, this trip definitely takes me out of my element as far as all the history material that we have been learning so far. Although the sites are so interesting and beautiful, sometimes all the history presented takes away from the site itself. The first excursion to Solunto was a perfect example of…
