Yo Ashley,
I was kidnapped form Carnie Folk at the Strawberry Festival in Marysville...or was it the Sausage Festival in Everett...it's all a blur to me now. All I know is that I have a strange affinity for the ring-toss..oh..and sometimes on the bus, I guess people's weight.

Jason misses the NFL channel & we can't believe that football season is about to start up! But
guess where we went a few weeks ago....the super bowl...yup, you read that correctly, the Italian super bowl for american football! We couldn't believe we got in for free - not often that you score a free ticket to the super bowl! We thought damn, we are gonna rock tonight - football, american football in Italy! When are we gonna see this again!

When are we gonna see this again!
We were 'packed' in with about a thousand fans - Bothell HS pulling in 3 times that for playoff games! We cheered, heard them call the game in Italian which was funny, refer to passes & runs as 'bello' & of course sat with drunken fools - but what drove Jason INSANE were the penalty flags- he kept yelling - 'it's not soccer ref!' not that anyone understood him. We're talking a flag every freakn' play! The scores were high, since there wasn't much of a defense which kept it fun to see a touchdown every few downs.
It was nice to see something familiar that reminded us of the States, but all in all it was pretty much unwatchable - we made the best of it - knowing it will be a long time before we see football live again! We sat on both sides of the field & cheered for both teams! I just kept saying - "dreams really do come true, you always said you wanted, just once, to go to the super bowl! - here we are baby, here we are!"
Only in Italy can you sit at the game, eating prosciutto & aged pecorino on a flat bread piadine!
(Brett Favre what is up?! NY?! Really!!)
So this may be crazy, but it is the 21st century - we are in the Italian countryside with only a cellphone for internet & it sucks! We have to hang it in the window, out the door or on a tree for reception. And to make international calls - only at Sunrise Cafe in Urbania...so what's a family to do to keep in touch?! A Blog! What the hell, why not give it a try!
We can all add on stories & pics - let's try to do it weekly to keep in touch!
Check the email that I sent you with the link for the password & use your own email address.
Keep in touch.....blog away!!
