  • This video was filmed prior to when Russia invaded Ukraine and before we started hosting a Ukrainian family. We wanted to post our video ("Touching Experience Hosting 5 Ukrainians (emotional) | WE LOVE THEM. Thank you for your donations" LINK) before our Sicily, Italy series (3 vlogs) to share our thoughts and experience with you. Hosting them has been an honor. We love these individuals and have been touched by them. If you have the means, we encourage to open up your hearts and home to help these beautiful people.
    We fly from Germany to Italy to experience warmer temperatures and new foods! :) We found a lot more than that though! In this video we are in Sicily for the first time ever! Sicily is a massive island in the south of Italy, the largest island in the Mediterranean! Our first stop is the capital city and ancient city, Palermo!
    On our first day there we noticed a lot of cultural differences & were surprised to see how different things were compared to Germany and the U.S! Sicily is a very energetic & happening place-you won't want to miss this video! :)
    Places we went in in this video:
    -Piazza San Domenico Town Square
    -Strolled down Via Maqueda (see Quattro Canti, Fontana Pretoria, etc. Basically everything along this street is incredible to see, but crowded! :)...)
    -Mercato del Capo: Via Cappuccinelle, ., 90138 Palermo PA, Italy
    -Watched the sunset at Foro Italico. Address: Foro Italico Umberto I, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy
    -Beautiful city park was called Villa Giulia. Address: Via Lincoln, 90123 Palermo PA, Italy
    -Chicken Takeaway restaurant was called Antica Gastronomia Polleria Marino. Address: Via Roma, 57, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy
    -Carbonara Takeaway restaurant was called Aglio Olio e Pepe. Address: Via Vittorio Emanuele, 119/121, 90133 Palermo PA, Italy

    By the way . did you know there is a connection between Palermo and Germany : In the middle ages , for a short term , Friedrich der Zweite ,( von Hohenstaufen, "Stupor mundi"), emperor of Germany made Palermo capital of his empire and so capital of Europe, and until now , some people of Palermo still put roses on his tomb in the cathedral .

    there is a reason why Italy has been more or less the top holiday destination for decades since the 50's alongside Spain and Austria.... but Italy got it all. Though of course northern and southern Italy are different... but la dolce vita is everywhere... the food, the arts, the architecture... gelato. We Germans enjoy it for holiday and go back to our orderly more sober German daily life, dreaming of the next holiday stay lol...

When she was talking about Confetti, I suppose the video was taken during Carnival time, it is very typical at that time to see the floors of the streets and squares with "coriandoli". 😁 When you explained about kisses between men, you are right, it is not a 100% Italian custom, it is more typical to see it in southern Italy. We in the north of Italy are more of shaking hands, we are colder I would say 😜 New follower.

Stromboli has an (small) eruption every 10-20 min. You will never be closer to an active vulcano.

    Ja, die Italiener sind sehr kinderfreundlich. Sie sind sehr offen und lassen sich durch Kinderlärm nicht abschrecken. Vorallem im Restaurant ist es sehr angenehm, wenn man nicht das Gefühl haben muss, leise zu sein. In Deutschland hat man sofort das Gefühl, zu stören oder angestarrt zu werden, wenn die Kinder etwas lebendiger sind

You can never go wrong with Palermo, it has so many layers and colorful corners and tastes to explore. Arabs and Normans, mountain fennel and pasta con sarde. If you like train rides you can do a nice day trip right through the heart of the island to Agrigento and the unreal Valle dei Templi.

    I don't want to drive a big American car through the narrow streets of Italy. The romans drove there with their donkey carts.
    I think that German seriousness has a lot to do with German history. Those were formative events. Also until 1990 on the border of East and West. But under a hard shell, Germans are friendly and helpful.
    Italians on the coast have always been considered laid-back.
    Quite different those in the harsh remote alpine valleys.
    But many Italians also live in Germany and offer delicious ice cream or work at VW

      It’s true, luckily we didn’t have our car with us or else we would have been squeezing through so many tight spaces.

    Hey guys, nice to see you enjoyed your trip and you dont need to somehow excuse you did this vid some time ago. Yes, your are great humans providing a safety place for those who are in need. Hopefully it goes well for you and for the ukrainian people. Praying that this nightmare will stop soon for all of us. As seen, Willa can speak very well now and I am sure she has a lot to communicate. Be aware of discussions with her coming up. On the other hand she cant excuse anymore that she doesnt understand. Not sure Tanner if I mentioned to you already. I saw a phrase saying: the first daughter is a female copy of her father. Hmmh, is that scaring for you or not ? :-D Well, we have had couple sunny days but coming week will be cold again as forecasted. Anyway, after "den Eisheiligen" especially after "der kalten Sophie", we will have warmer days and nights as well and icecream will taste much much better, doesnt matter which colour, except the pink one from Rothernburg ob der Tauber which is the best as I am told.

      Thanks for the comment Reinhold. It’s true, we shouldn’t need to preface why the video is posted much later than when it was taken, but we like to preface why sometimes for people who are new or missed some videos.
      As for the comment about Willa being the female version of me…. 😂 we see a lot of me in her to be honest so we can believe that. Hopefully she gets most of my better traits 😬.
      Raising kids right now comes with a lot of responsibility given the current world events. We are starting small but we try to teach her a lot of what’s going on right now and even why the family stayed with us and where their house is. Obviously in small toddler terms, but we want her to remember this hopefully later on in life when she’s grown up.
      Unfortunately, we are seeing that the nice warm days are taking a break this week. Sad to see, but we’re extremely happy to have had as much sun and warmth as we did.

    12:00 This ancient dessert is called "Cassata Siciliana"
    More here ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassata
    A variation is "Cassata al Forno" blog.giallozafferano.it/dulcisinforno/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Cassata-al-forno-6788_rid.jpg
    There is also an another similar dessert: the "Sfoglio delle Madonie". It's similar to the cassata al forno but the filling is a bit different (ricotta or tuma sweet).
    Fun fact: there is a dispute between Polizzi and Petralia Soprana, two villages in the Regional Natural Park of the Madonie, on who invented first the sfoglio. These two type of sfoglio tastes different.
    All of these desserts was invented before the 1600, the cassata siciliana is more ancient
