Thank you guys so much for the posts, we know we have been really lazy about posting, but it takes more effort when you don't have internet at home!!
Not much new going on, still just working and getting totally stoked for our holiday this Thursday! We are meeting my baby brother Isaac in Amsterdam (he's coming from Norway), and then we are dragging him back to Rome with us! Finally, after more than one year we get to see our first family member in the flesh!
Let me feed you one funny anecdote from this past week to keep your hunger satisfied:
One of my students invited me to an office lunch party for pizza. One of the boys comes to Rome every week from Naples, and he brought with him some Buffalo Mozzarella from a very famous cheese maker. It was delicious, and while we were all munching away one of the men asked me, "Come si dice in Inglese, buffalo?" (How do you say Buffalo in English?) The spelling is the same, but the Italian pronunciation is booofalo.
So, as soon as I said the correct pronunciation for them, there was a chorus of male voices all at once that said, "Buffalo Bill!" Very cute coming from grown Air Force men.
In some unrelated, but interesting news, Spike Lee was at the Abbey Pub last night while Chuck was bartending!
Don't worry, lots of pics to come from Amsterdam!
