This just in...
Ferris has arrived safely in Italy.
He is participating in a study abroad summer program.
Here are some views from his Italian dorm room.
I gave him some tips on the way to the airport.
We reviewed some of the material in the parents pamphlet, where it talked about being safe and smart while out on the town. Especially for the American girls traveling with the group -- European men may misinterpret their friendliness as an invitation to intimacy, or that accepting a drink from a man may be an acceptance of such an invitation. It also talked about how to drink responsibly and maintain a high level of decorum. All good advice for the young twenty-somethings...
Also on the long ride to the airport he practiced Italian phrases from a little book he bought.
"Where is the bank machine?"
and,
"What do you recommend?"
oh and...
"Can I buy you a drink?"

Fabulous!
Those pics are so neat.
What an adventure!
Great pix! I'm sure he'll have the time of his life. Encourage him to send you email updates ~ they will be fun to read now and later.
You have taught the Grasshopper well, Master.
Too cute :o)
