March, 2005

Just wanted to let you know that I made it safely to Europe! Spent a week in Paris–what a great city. And moved into the Castello di Sinio about a week ago. It’s a major construction site at the moment and a little like camping, but I LOVE IT! We’ve boosted the population to 383, so not exactly a booming metropolis, but the people and the character in this town and area are just amazing. I don’t have internet access yet, but hopefully within the next few weeks. All well here!! Miss you! ~Sheesh

P.S. I’m seven hours ahead of the East coast time.

I’m going to Europe tomorrow!! Wooohooo! It turns out that my apartment isn’t finished being built yet, so I’ll be staying with Jay and Denise in Paris until it’s ready for me to inhabitate. (I know, rough life right?) I’m a little bit nervous about getting from Milan to Paris (as it involves taking a bus, the Underground and a train–none of which I have tickets for yet), but hopefully it will all go smoothly. I don’t speak a single whit of French, so the next couple weeks will be quite an adventure! Keep in touch and I’ll promise to post as often as possible! Ciao, amici!
