Sad in DC

So, Here I am with Jennifer Holt sitting in a hotel room at the Holiday Inn Georgetown in Washington, DC, working on my presentation about our project for tomorrow. What can I say! I wish that Eleonora was working on this with me!
As we were driving into town my heart hurt for all you students and grown ups from Italy that won't get to see the embassies, the Potomac river, the Watergate hotel, and the monuments and the capitol. DC is a neat city. A lot neater than Shreveport, I guarantee!!!
As I thought, there are very few flights that have enough space on them to accomodate 11 people. So we need to make some decisions about what to do. DANG VOLCANO!!!
The only good thing about it is now we are really having to weather a calamity in our project, and that will only bring us closer together. I hope.
Hugs to all,
Rebecca

  1. Honestly, the situation reminds me of what we faced at Sci-Port with Ann. We "wooed" her and when she got here, coincidentally, we experienced financial hardships. In parallel, here we planned for months on our Italian counterparts coming here and "puff," everything goes up in smoke (well, a large cloud of ash). Just like we've forged together at Sci-Port, I totally agree with your opine that we will no doubt have an even greater time come May 8! I'm saddened, but excited.

    Ciao,
    Greg
