Unusual! By definition this word means noticeably different from what is generally found or experienced. Synonyms include curious, extraordinary, funny, odd, offbeat, peculiar, queer,
and rare. Some might use this to describe a day that was an extremely new and insightful experience. Perfect! This was the
perfect word for my unusual day.
Today was the Fourth of July and I was missing out on the fireworks. It wasn't a total disappointment
though. Today was the day we would visit Sicilian children. I had lots of fun because we talked and played volleyball. All
of the children spoke English and dressed very sporty. They some of them wore gym shorts and tank tops and some of them wore
jeans and a t-shirt just like American kids. I specifically enjoyed it because I felt tall standing next to all of them !
I was relieved that they didn't play by the rules, because I didn't know them either. After about
two hours straight of volleyball it was time to say goodbye and leave. On the bus we told stories about their amazing soccer
talents, their vigorous games of volleyball, and their action packed basketball games.

ancestors. According to the guide it was a temple built to show that the Trojans could build a huge shrine like the Greeks.
It was either destroyed by Greek invader or incomplete. We then had free time or as I called it goof-off time. We all took
pictures of each other and of the temple. We were planning to see the town of Erice but due to traffic it got canceled so
we headed back to the hotel for dinner. What a wonderfully unusual end to an unusual day.
