Gavriella is here - Jan 06 !!!









My beautiful cousin Leli loves me SO much that she decided to come to Wenonah to visit me. I showed Leli our local Hollywood Diner in Wenonah and the one and only club that exists here in the town : Adelphias. Leli's fun loving nature made it a very smiley night, with lots of new 'local' friends made for us both.

Leli and I took a roadtrip to Atlantic City (hardly a road trip- it took 50minutes- but it was still fun pretending that we were 'Thegla' and 'Louiza', I mean Thelma and Louise!!). The day began with coffee and shopping and ended with some Austrians, Sadists, Police and uncle Bob's shock at the possibility of bailing us out of prison (I'm still in disbelief).

My wonderful Uncle Bob, once again, generously offered to take 'The English Bunch' to a fantastic Italian restaurant in Old City Philadelphia. This is a great restaurant called 'Sbizzios', that Craig and I stumbled across when we first arrived in Philly. It's set high up, surrounded by walls of glass, overlooking a small cobbled piazza. The food was so tasty. I had to be uncle Bob's 'rent a date' (again!) as Aunt Carmie was in Syracuse (New York) with her sister Rose, drinking some wine whilst watching Desperate Housewives!! We had fun, thanks Uncle B, I love you a billion more than a million. x

The extremely short weekend visit was eventful, but more so, very special to me. Thankyou for bringing so much love and light into my house Gavriella, I love you and miss you already. xx

    Goumera, woohoo! I'm loving this and the photos. Couldn't see them before. Am getting all emotional reading all your experiences. You're a proper Yank now, man. Has your accent changed?
