Easy Italian Side Dishes

closure? maybe just a goodbye

"Hearing their ties with the land, his love for some men, to know that there is a place where the heart finds its harmony, that's already a lot of certainty for a single human life. No doubt this is not enough. But at certain moments we all aspire to this homeland of the soul. "It was there that we have to go '" (A. Camus, Wedding , Milan 1987, 80)

Dear all, we did this morning

mind local Monday of the past on the road and easily go back to every day living. Departing from Savona in the water to the capital of Mauritania in the desert, towards Tanguiéta Italian hospital, at home in Mora on tough track to Bulai Garoua. Resurface people places, sounds and scents to life the journey we are living the words of Camus that we apply to these places: the valley and the north Cameroon: Mora almost as popular where there are people with whom we shared life there is always a reason to stay home, go back. The trip made us enjoy the beauty of being deep in the Church. Not that officer so many times we suffer the slow and cumbersome, but one that lives next men and that made us feel at home in every place we passed, which gave us a way to share in depth the life with his efforts and hopes. That's the beauty and grandeur of the Church founded on the surprise of many people who give their lives to proclaim Jesus Christ. How many times have we said: "Here only the deep faith and prayer can be a support for a lifetime." Now living down in the deep and together they gradually revived. We miss Dino and dad, the daily lived deep in the alloy and makes it miss, miss miles and people on the street, we support the unexpected sign of welcoming experienced this weekend, a sign of deep affection and true. We can not but be grateful of all this affection is not deserved. Today we have again called the Sisters of Mora to remember all the time spent as an important signal to us as a call from Rene arrived safe and sound.

We realize the beauty of the gift of this trip, we hope to be able to share with his life so received.

PS A special thanks to all those who made this trip possible. We want to remember those who initially encouraged us in thinking, to deliver it: Dad and Dino who immediately and enthusiastically have available data, Don Tonio Audisio who encouraged us from the beginning, Lino that the sending of Link Taurinorum Travel Team has ensured that the dream could become reality, of Ludovico Taurinorum who gave us valuable advice. And thanks to everyone who supported us and together. Thanks also to Franco Giolitti and Catherine his wife who had the idea and created this wonderful blog that has given us the opportunity to share with all of our trip.

The journey will continue with some projects that have left and maybe that will start in the places where we went. An example: with the money we collected for the car and were in addition, has financed the construction of classrooms in the school of Mora. For the coming year are quiet and leave with the first two classes. Yesterday is the past a doctor Canelli that will bring medicines and an ambulance in Mauritania just where we went and we will seek collaboration with the sisters who work in Nouadhibou. All the little things that you put in the yard and who knows what other things will become true.

Thanks to Mario and Hum Association "Children's dreams."

Every now updated again with news of the places where we and the projects they started.

A hug and see you all

Kundli Future Predictions

last day

Thursday, February 10, 2011

"Here ends the adventure of Mr. Bonaventura." So Dino went on to say today. It does not seem true but it is. Leaving tonight to 3 parts of Africa. Changes even plane to Casablanca tomorrow at 15:30 and arrive to Malpensa. We are drinking a beer after the last swim in the pool and packing. This morning we did the last four steps to buy gifts for their grandchildren. Of course mesh of Cameroon and clothing typical of the place. As in any city is to stroll the beautiful walking in its streets. That's where you hear the climate and savoring the warmth and the way of the people. We were struck, as in other cities that we visited as we all do something to tie the ends meet. All are selling something, someone in a more organized and those who are a small feast on the road or even just carrying on your head what you have to sell. All here in Africa is moving from early morning until late evening. It is not clear where all these people go, but you are moving. Africa is on the move.

with a lump in my throat thinking of the luggage we have prepared what we experienced and how the heart is always full of gratitude. It would take just a little because the journey from hell to become a beautiful, but everything was a bit 'as a piece that has stuck with each other with the help of many people. We have not had anything that went wrong, not a disease, not a drill, not a technical or mechanical problem with the bikes, we were always good to enjoy fully the fruits and the food found where we went. How long will it take to be able to let all these things and become sedimentino words and feelings to communicate, but it will be nice to find a way to share time with everything that was simply too wide motorcycle. For now we enjoy the last meal and then we will move African airport to wait for boarding time. We hope that there is a plane. This possibility is not so unexpected here in Africa.

Tomorrow Marco (our brother) we will take to Milan. How nice and what a gift. We'll get the super summer clothing and then the return will risk to be more traumatic than expected. We'll see. We'll tell you again for the last time via the web before speaking face to face.

hug you all.

PS Lori and Emily: many times have we thought about what you told us: "Remember to get to Douala.

PS Fiorella Sampeyre. Please turn riscandamento by tomorrow morning so we sleep in the heat. Thanks

Where Is Cytheria Now?

February 9 February 8

Dear all,

present day bureaucracy on the bikes and meetings with missionaries and people passing through here to the attorney des missions. We get the call for boarding and a pick-up is to take us, we cross the harbor to the city and we get a big deposit. What a world port and an African port. Few formalities with a French manager who looks after us well maybe because we say we are friends Gianluca already phoned and explained everything. After the paperwork we prepare the motion, the positions of all pieces parts that we do not serve anyone and we did not use, we put ourselves above all ... the pack and say goodbye, we share a bit 'out of place, we no longer know what it means to travel by car. The helmets we give them two priests who use the bike a lot and we know Rene will deliver all the sisters think that the distribution of Mora.

In the afternoon after long talks with French priests and monks are we doing to bring the agency Maroc airline for the flight, everything ok, is confirmed and we are on the list, this piece seems to work well, we will check tomorrow night. What gives us the opportunity to travel to Douala on a machine that not even the worst junkyard car but dare call us anywhere in the chaos of the city. A bath of africa this too, yearn for a little 'freedom of movement but smile making comments between us and ripped an occasional comment from the driver locally.

Now we just have to wait, including swimming, lectures, meetings, etc. chapel. We collect memories and often find it hard to be alone. Dad could be already left foot, is not quite done for the African expectations but we laugh over. Dino law the guidance of Cameroon and laughs often commenting: "here say they never do as we did and they are right in what they write but ... it was great!" The head of the Dutch house has taken us into the good graces and often stops to chat with us, nice and simple shape that fits in a seaport so useful to the missionaries.

one small thing this morning after a good night we attended Mass in the chapel, there were about 150 people before going to work is the mass. Beautiful thing, all young adults. We hit the level of the people, very tall and come running into the car sign that they are officers or employees. Along with a fairly traditional church as we were told Southern Cameroons but certainly a church alive with animated voices in song very hot and very different from the north very poorest and where the song is actually just rhythm and dance. We welcome Rene

that tomorrow soon fall, too bad it only start, beautiful stretch of road made together. The last things we have left and a little 'money to buy a pagne (dress) for his wife. It must be good if you have a husband like that!

Now try to rest tomorrow is expected, if we go to market or enjoy the tranquility of the place. We forgot, Douala is one of the wettest cities in the world, ever temperature over 30 degrees with humidity rates consistently over 60 per cent. You sweat just to breathe ...

hug you all good night
