S’mores

Posted by on Feb 17, 2008 in Blog | No Comments

Our girl Face gave us a great gift last night: she brought marshmallows in her suitcase from the USA so that we could roast them in the fireplace at the Casa del Popolo. S’mores! Aw yeah. That’s what I call a team member!

SistaFlav is totally converted– she’s turning more American every day. Josie continues to hang out in the fireplace.

All the time.

Seriously.

The our fabulous bi-cultural PR consultant, The Pidgin, joined us for a working lunch and tour of the garden.

The Pidgin and her partner have connected us with the previously mentioned partner in a communicazione firm (which is a lot like a PR firm but also does fundraising and connects corporations with cultural outlets). Basically, he has volunteered to help us with our written materials, acquire funding from the larger european community, and connect us with small business incubators (sounds warm, doesn’t it?). To sum up, he’s a godsend.

The tour of the garden was followed by a guided tour of the museum of the convent and a visit to the most historical point in Calvi: the presepio. Thirty life-sized terra cotta figures made in 1546 are usually locked up in the Chiesa Sant’Antonio.

At one point the baby Jesus figure was stolen (who would DO that?) and has been replaced by a replica.

Mystophur tested the sound in the church by singing. Everybody loved it. Especially me.

After the tour we had a meeting with the mayor so that our PR team could meet him. It went well and seems like they impressed the mayor. The more real live Italians we have on our team, the better.Our girl Face gave us a great gift last night: she brought marshmallows in her suitcase from the USA so that we could roast them in the fireplace at the Casa del Popolo.
