Night One in Italy

I did pretty well figuring out how to adjust to the time change: the moment you're on the plane get on Italian time and sleep. Then when it's 7:30 or 8 AM Italian time head stay up watching videos until you land.

After landing and taking a shower a group of us took a walk to a nearby restaurant. On the way we passed a Plaza with some cool statues etc.
 
At the restaurant our server, Yuri, saw the shirt and jackets of two of our members who had just finished attending meetings for the day.  He got really excited and started asking about the Cassini Space Probe and how long they'd been working on the project.
 

Earl & his family
 

Scott with me
 

We made sure to get a photo with Yuri in the middle of Earl & Scott who both work on the project and continue to close it out the year after the probe's crash.

 
The food was really good by-the-way.  Scott made sure Yuri got some NASA stickers and a Cassini pin.
