Ottobrata


On Sunday night half of the MCAS students took a bus to Mt. Etna (an active volcano) for Ottobrata (Octoberfest). There were rides like any carnival might have. There were grown men standing around the machines, punching the punching bag and slamming the mallet like they were kids. People were eating and eating and eating. We had these delicious honey covered fried dough finger sized snacks. Lauren ate mushrooms and Gare had a few sugary chocolate filled donut things. Overall it was fun. Mix the carnivals at home with hundreds of crazy Italians and you get Ottobrata!

Gare enjoying the honey sticks. He said they were alot like the french toast sticks he ate as a child.

That sounds neat. At first glance, I thought Gar was holding up a link sausage!
