and the winner is

if some of you are still wondering what happened to me in my trip back, here is the answer
mission completed.
i landed in Rimini after a few hours of airport delirium because of the snow, and i got my luggage!
all my lovely tubes of saliva.
desert, snow, whatever.

extraordinary warm christmas eve, the temperature rose up to 20 degrees for these last 3 days after all that snow. forcing ourselves to drink gluewine around the fire, as we usually do (my friends and I) to get as drunk as possible to the midnight mass. but this time we were a little bit shocked and maybe a mojito would be more appreciated. christmas mojito. i wear battery charged christmas lights on my head. I am slightly drunk and waiting inside the church while i chat with friends i don't see quite often. Yes, this year I unbaptized myself signing a couple of official documents, but i don't care, i don't mind my folk tradition, as part of my origin, funny waiting for baby Jesus to come, singing loud like karaoke always the same songs, repeating codified sentences at the right moment, yeah jesus comes to save us and at midnight the bells sing and a naked doll laying on a golden throne is unveiled.

Botswana is a lovely land.
i am quite tanned, but not too much to be honest.
the fun part now is having a double welcome back. one in Italy, one in Germany.
I feel I have a lot of information in my head and I don't know what to do with that.
At night i dream of PhD projects, everybody publishes on Nature about hardcore gene stocastich projection and modelling evolutions and i feel I am not ready for that, and i think "is my project on San people history enough?"
am i enough?

to be ready
that's another story.

there is a couple of tubes of african saliva hanged as a decoration for my mother's christmas tree.
now just feeding myself to the limit. and there is such a lot of good quality wine around.

Love,
melted snow,
glass of red wine 14.5 alchool degrees,
hugs all over which fills the space,
love is all you need
