Making Progress

Thursday, September 14, 2006
Today was a wonderful day. After standing in line for a total of 6 hours over 4 different days outside at 7:30 am with some really interesting people, our applications for visas were finally accepted! We were made to produce all sorts of documents that seemed to make no sense, but we did it. And it really was a miracle.

So, we've obtained Kato's papers for travel and some nice drugs for him to take and found someone to take care of him while we are traveling in the USA. Ben has finished his work at Spin City Cycle and Melissa's last day at Business Committee for the Arts is tomorrow. We've packed up a lot of our things and said goodbye to some people already.

So it's really happening. We really are moving to Italy where we will know no one and not speak the language and live in an apartment and city we have yet to see.

PS- Thanks to all who made my birthday so special. M
