Diego doing the patented AFB, "Oooho. Oooohhh..." move. Need video to get the full effect. Actually, need a Nick bobble-head doll. Really need that. Badly.

Giovanni, Mariarca, and one of Giovanni's couchsurfing guests. I love Giovanni! He makes me practice Italian. (And Mariarca looks so pretty! -- even if it does look like she has a fluffy green hat on. ;)

Jeffrey. He doesn't do the patented AFB move, but he is still a bro. Actually, he is more of a "yo."

After asking 3 times, my missing unagi finally showed up. Immediately post cake-cutting, of course.

My birthday party in Napoli. We went out for sushi at Kukai (www.kukai.it). It was a mix of friends from work and friends from couchsurfing.com. Much chaos, as seems to be typical of large parties at restaurants in Italy, and lots of fun!
Cristina brought me a babà cake, dripping with rum. http://www.deliciousitaly.com/ricetta.php?id=110®ione_id=4
