Pancho writes...

Amigos, about everything so far....

I Love Rome. What a experience to walk around thousands of years of history, in the present, to walk around thousands of cars and people moving in every direction day and night.

The reality has arrived to us, we are in Rome and it is not so simple to jump on a plane and get started the next day at the same level we had in Vancouver.

We have met people of many different nationalities, and as soon as they know our reason for being in Italy, they go out of their way to help us, and support Ja to try to finish the transplant plan we began one year ago in Vancouver.

Friends from Canada, US and Italy have visited us during this period, and it feels very good to have company in the moment we are living now.

The communication in general; e-mail, web pages, computer talking programs, phones, etc etc, make distances disappear in seconds and  connect us with the rest of the world.

We have been writing e-mails but is hard to write to everyone we know, so we strongly encourage anyone who would like to get in touch with us to e-mail us, we always like to reply.

We have a few more events planned in the future, and we will post here or in Ja's event page.  

I would like to personally thank everyone for everything. Pancho

JANUARY 3, 2007:

We are happy to have survived New Years in Rome. 

Just before the stroke of midnight the fireworks begin and are non-stop for about an hour.  There is not a car in the street and the skies are lit up in every direction. 

We stood on our roof in awe not believing our eyes.  The Italians truly start the year with a bang!  We heard that in Naples everyone throws out their old stuff including furniture, out the window, so not a soul risks their life walking in the streets after the clock strikes 12.

We thought we would take a leisurely drive into town after the fireworks and realized we were not alone and that every other Roman had the same idea.  It was like rush hour at 2 in the morning!  Never the less we are content to be here and all made our New Year wishes and resolutions for 2007.

On January 1, we made lentil soup as is the tradition here in Italy, they believe that by eating lentils on the first day of the year you will have good fortune for the rest of the year.

On January 2, we played at a local pub and it was a lot of fun.  Ja brought her entire dance class to cheer us on.  Our friend, Bill was here and played lead guitar with us.  It was a great experience for our first gig in a pub in Rome and we passed the test.

On January 3, we were very excited to hear Ja through our computer as she was doing the live interview with CBC Radio 1:30 AM here.  Vancouver rocks and continues to support us miles away.

We feel very loved and are proud to be part of a community with such a big heart.

 

 

NEW YEAR 2007!!!

Wish the best to everyone in the whole world...
