Well, we got our paragraph from Drew today.

He has fallen in love with Gelato. It can be compared loosely with ice cream. He found a Gelatoria that had chocolate gelato that had the consistency of chilled chocolate cake batter. That is the good news.

The bad news is he felt ill at a member's house. He had two dinner appointments. The first one was fine, but when he arrived at the 2nd, he began to feel ill, so he sat out on the patio to get some fresh air. The members were very kind and concerned and nearly insisted that he go the hospital. Both he and his comp. had a hard time convincing them that the hospital was NOT necessary. He explained that the Italians go to the hospital for just about everything.

This is his 1 month in country anniversary. The language is coming along great. He seems to understand about 70% of what is said. Surely the gift of tongues is alive and well.

No pictures yet, but soon we hope.
