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

Douala

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

We arrived in Douala end of our trip to Africa.

Departing from Bertoua at 6.30 this morning we crossed the east-west to Cameroon in Douala: 570 km of asphalt good except for the first 50 km of track with a little 'mud early. The bikes are dirty like never before. I wonder if we can remove all the dust that has stuck on him. Accommodation on the Procure de Mission, a house held by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit near the port. Just before he arrived to greet and ask for the keys of the room, we hugged. We were the last half of Africa. We wanted a beer to celebrate the moment and they did. Portraits baggage we threw ourselves into the water. Luke was the view of the ocean in Morocco awaiting this moment. Except that John preferred to take a shower and then the laundry, the other we have all enjoyed a relaxing swim. It is not yet true.

immediately went to his head all those we have met along the way by which we rescheduled our trip always from the tips they gave us. The hand of God has been with us took the face of so many people who have not only made, but without knowing the difficulties we have made it less tiring.

The first phone call to Sister Lucia was to Mora and then some text messages to family members to say the success of the trip. Throughout the course we realized how many people we have together, but now the heart and soul goes out to all so maybe a bit 'messy and not logical, but with a great sense of gratitude.

The bond that has developed between us has become very deep and narrow. Sharing This trip has made us familiar in all things we do and think and for this we can only say thanks to everyone and to the Lord. It was a grace and a great gift for all.

Douala of Cameroon and South Africa is very different than the extreme north where we worked. Here the abundance of water and the heat makes the overly florid and exuberant nature. Everywhere on the road are excellent with pineapple bananas and other fruits of the earth. The trees you see from the road and the trucks are very high that you face you see huge logs to imagine the height of the trees.

Thanks to Gianluca Garzino the formalities for the shipment of the bikes seem simpler, we will see tomorrow. For the moment we phoned to say that we are already there and we would deliver the bike as soon as possible. Even the Mauritius Esseviaggi told us that we must take the flight home was canceled so we should not return.

Now we enjoy the rest of Douala and the good climate that is good and right now it seems like summer to us.

I think and I embrace you all

Dear all,

we are sitting in front of a beer after the busiest day of the trip, 270km of track (Sampeyre-Milan) in a street in the hills of red earth. We were told it was bad but it was. How many times the shock of the bikes have hit bottom, how many strokes of the tail, a small fall to head almost from zero. I do not understand people who love the track and then ... nice track we have not ever seen. After 10km you are already fed up with dreams and beautiful road. We have often reminded Hugh and Laura, the "overburden" that he dreamed. You'll lose the saddle Laura many times. The car driven by Rene had to go slower and Garoua Bulai we waited an hour and a half. Rene is a good, quiet, reliable with a desire to speak, tell, ask. A trusted person warm and wise, nice to travel with him.

After 260km of track and beautiful road we come to Bertoua. It is almost a dream, a community that awaits us, a beautiful chapel. The dust we came everywhere, a good shower and are now waiting for dinner prepared by two nice and beautiful French cooperating here for a year.

the first pictures speak for themselves ... Not even the road that came out of the lake Sampeyre was not. Dedicated to Mark

our suits were starting to clean Mora ...

relax the muscles ...

this little girl brings water to the shower so dirty we

you come out of mine? Two steps to end ...

Surely the good Lord has well together and hear the accompaniment of many, tomorrow we leave soon hoping to get to Douala. As you can see the program has changed, but the program is done in the journey and the people we met encouraged us to change because what we had planned was no sense to the people here, impossible.

Luca hopes to after so long, swim in the pool of the reception center of the diocese.

Now we go to bed happy to have come this far. See you tomorrow and a hug to all
