Dear ladies and gentlemen, readers and followers. Please believe your eyes as your are to read the one and only English post I write. Well, this is a promise I might not keep. This is to give thanks to all my friends in the US. To my wonderful roommates and people in the lab and especially the lovely people you meet on the bus. Without you this stay would've not been possible and, of course, it is not over. When you're abroad you meet all kinds of people, funny ones, crazy ones, happy ones, sad ones, nice ones, very nice ones, some not so nice ones, serious ones. If you draw a bottom line, most people here are wicked awesome. Last weekend I had the chance to encounter a group of very nice people from the great state of Louisiana and from the great granite state of Texas. They were on a visit to our wonderful city of Boston and they seemed to like food, especially Italian and seafood as you might realize when you ckeck out this picture. In my life I haven't seen so many cannolis, are you kidding me?! Well Italians would use cannoli as plural, I guess. These people were more of the funny kind and it gave you an idea of southern hospitality on the road. So here's my shout-out to y'all. It was a lot of fun and next time you can be the tour guides.
