The Sicily, worth it to be visiting...🎉😊

[@jeffreyfisher6723]

I was in the US Navy in Sicily 1978 to 1981 and 1985 to 1987. I come each year to visit my adopted Sicily Family. I normally in Sicily in September.

Small world, my mother in law was stationed there at the same time. My husband grew up there. He classifies Sicily as his home. We go as often as possible.

Thank you.

[@jodidelucca4190]

Awesome

[@joycemajor2555]

You’ve shown me my Paternal and Maternal grandparents towns, I keep watching and I am understanding so much about why I am the way I am, it’s inherent, in my blood. I’m 2nd gen American, my DNA is 90% Sicilian but all the other small percents we can’t explain like Arab, Norway etc, your videos nailed it. Thank you!

[@alexandery8508]

Hi
It's interesting you speaked about eastern coast that siracuda is a must visit. But what are your top 3 ancient or just historical sites in the southwest? Before I went here I heard a lot mentioning of Agrigento etc.

[@alexandery8508]

Also is it easy to go from example Taormina to southwest coast. Also is this trip considering hours traveling worth it?

[@alexandery8508]

Your opnione would be interesting to hear!

[@YouMeandSicily]

Agrigento for sure . We have several videos from there.

[@princesscc8600]

Where did you learn Italian ?

[@YouMeandSicily]

Here in Sicily. Not fluent and still learning.
