Seen at today G8 Summit's inauguration at L'Aquila, Italy.
President Obama was one of the first to arrive.
The town and the region had been almost completely destroyed no more than 3 months ago (330 deaths) by a terrible earthquakes. Many of the habitants are still living in tend camps. The summit, which should have been held in Sardinia, was moved to L'Aquila by the Government as a measure to get world leaders acknowledge the tragedy. (or as many other said, was just a stunt made for publicity ).

Dang...I didn't know the whole area was completely destroyed...or that those who stayed are living in tents. I wonder what Obama said in response. I don't think it got much coverage here...
BTW...glad to see you survived the 36 hours...heh. And that you have a fan named Sarah. Warn.
BTW... the w.e "marathon" (which is longer than merely 36 hours ;)) will start Thursday night... approximately in 11 hours.. (10pm l.t ;)) :D Would I be a walking hormone by then? you bet I will :D
