Well, the second Italian birthday is much better than the
first one. We were so new to Italy, it safe to say just flat overwhelmed for
Craig’s birthday last year, I have upgraded this year.
Mozart’s “The Magic
Flute” at the Bellini Theater in Catania was the first installment of the
birthday celebration. It is always
amazing to be in that theater and just think about being in Italy for a
birthday celebration. The acoustics are
impressive, no wires or speakers can be seen anywhere, the lighting and the
atmosphere are transcending. Italians
dress for the theater so it is always great fun to see what people are sporting
at the Bellini; and interestingly enough they do close the doors right on
schedule. “Italian time” or “fashionably late” does not apply at the Bellini
Theater.

Our little Sigonella Branch threw a small birthday bash
after church. Pot luck delights and Lindsey
Wingate, our branch baker, made a Root Beer Cake to celebrate. We love these people!
