Absolutely right, Carmela. As I mentioned, I'm first generation so I find myself somewhere between the two (Italian and Italian American). Not sure what you identify with...just curious how others feel. Thanks.
Simply, when I'm in the US, I identify with americans and american lifestyle, etc. When I'm in Sicily, I identify with them easily. It used to be a bit of culture shock going over there, but now it's just normal, hanging with family, etc. But no matter what I do when I'm in Sicily, I'm still the american over there to them. lol And no matter how much fun they think it is, I still dont want to spend my afternoon in 100+ degrees watching homemade mozzarella being made on uncle so n so's farm.
