Yeah!we went to Blockbuster today!
Before I write any more,make sure to read the entry under this one, it has pictures from the cemetary, etc.
Anyway,Blockbuster!!!We have movies. Ok, they are olderfor the US but I don't care,they are movies.... We rented Hostage, Hide and Seek and Alien Vs Predator.
Even though I knew my card number, it didn't work, as I figured. I had to start a new account which was just your name and address, and my drivers license showing I am who I am. Forget needing a major cedit card, she didn't even want proof of my address here.
They keep all movies behind the counter, all boxes on the wall are empty. We spoke with the girl behind the counter, she knew some English. She said they have the same problem with theft so they don't even use the locks, they just keep all DVDs in the drawers.
We bought taco chips, salsa and guacamole! (in a jar) who cares, it was great!
They have the same junk food by the counters, etc. The movies we got all said they had some sort of english version, hoping it is the audio and notjust subtitles. We will only be able to watch them on Jess' computer because they are region 2, so our DVD player will not be able to play it.
Jess is so happy she is even talking of coming home early and not partying all night, so she can watch movies... (sheesh!!)
EVERYTHING is closed in this town, with the exception of this internet cafe. Even the gas stations, you can get self serve, but the inside is not open. Tomorrow is a huge holiday, Ferragosto.
When we got gas, I used the wrong credit card and overdrew the US bank account. AAUUGHHH: There goes $30-$40 down the tubes.
Cats will also be eating spaghetti or something, we only have one can of food left for them, but a couple of cans of tuna. Poor things..
Ok, just rambling now, am going.
Yes! Just made a hotel reservation in Heidelberg for next Sat night. Here is a link to the hotel:

If you have to go to Germany, you have to go. But all of us back in the United States are rooting for you. You are a heroine and although the road looks hard and uphill (hahaha) we want you to be in Italy for the reasons you fell in love with the movie: for the adventure, your own self discovery and that of your daughter. The best way to grow as a person is to be put in a difficult situation and make the best out of it. You are learning italian and your daughter is learning about life and all the hard decisions. Not a bad thing.
I thought you had given yourself a year to fail and triumph in another country. The first year is all about cultural shock. After that, you start seeing the rewards. It is hard but we all know you can do it. If it is about money, we understand, but if is about anything else, hold on in there. It will get easier and you will laugh telling your story.
Love,
S.
