What a completely perfect day.  DJ Franky had us over for a positively scrumptious BBQ with his ridiculously charming family at his breathtakingly beautiful summer home in Otricoli (15 minutes from Calvi) and we laughed our fool heads off the whole time.  After lunch, we moved inside and he advised us on the bando and offered to connect with multiple really interesting funding opportunities (a stipendium we could apply for to employ Flavia, Umbrian and European grants for various art projects, a corporate sponsor for the whole Art Monastery Project).  He seems to be a miraculous combination of good friend and wise counselor.  How did we land this angel?  Thank you universe!
