Chow!

its not only the roman keys that are not working but my picture disk as well. trying to upload my pictures of fabulous sites, however, the computer is not cooperating. A quick note to mike montgomery sent TC Campus it into action all the way to rome. I ll give his suggestions a try and hopefully youll be seeing sarahs hand in the mouth of truth and valeries showing you the way to rome, mary louise talking italian with the bus guy, dead guys in tombs and jerry smiling brightly on our 2nd of travel with zero sleep.

Well, a few were wondering if i would get lost jogging in rome as i did in austria. that is not happening. we have been navigating around rome every day and skipping meals to do it. When Br. Mike told me we missed eating cat and squirrel for lunch today, i felt i made the right choice.

So far we have seen abc, abc, abc. in other words, another bloody cathedral, another bloody cathedral, another bloody cathedral. just kidding, it has been a real eye opener. when we say our old towns date back to the 1800s in the twin cities, the romans show visitors their temples dated 2 bc. no kidding!! what a charming town.

The experience has been nothing short of incredible, eye opening and a wonder of the world. The experience connecting with our winona and nairobi campuses has been just as incredible. the lasallian spirit is truly working in rome with our three campuses. Br. Wm. made a link that will last a lifetime at liturgy tonight answering much of what we questioned up until this point and connecting people, thoughts, spirits and truth in just a couple minutes time. You cant imagine how fortunate we are to have this important man as our leader. You have a treasurer that is about to unfold for the entire university community in a few months time, so get ready!! We have fantastic coworkers south of us and in asking each campus what is looming under Casa Lasalles roof this week, we would all agree the lasallian spirit is alive and kicking! Cant wait to to return to share this experience with all. Mary T.
