A Gleeful Graduation

A couple weeks ago, Letizia flew home from Paris to deliver her thesis in Siena, and she graduated with "110 e lode" which basically translates to A++, or Freakin' Awesome Job. 

Since many of her friends couldn't make it to Siena on a Wednesday (Italy chooses weird days for graduations) she hosted a brunch at her house in Pisa right before leaving for the airport.  I was so happy to be able to be with Leti around this special occasion-she's been buried under this thesis basically for as long as I've known her!  It was also great to see her family, her dog Mira, and to meet more of her friends.

Leti made lots of delicious things, including shrimp with avocado dip and curry chicken.  As a present, some of her friends gave her a microphone karaoke set with a book of lyrics from Glee songs, which we promptly began using as props for some fun photos.  Here's a cute one of me and Leti singing TLC's "No Scrubs", our favorite duet.  Leti will have to bring the microphones to the villa next time so we can officially start our A Cappella duo.
