I woke up optomistic about the day knowing at that time how to properly travel fom my hotel to the Metro, from the Metro to the Duomo and from the Duomo to Ronchi78 and then in reverse, I also knew Via Torino street but I had a problem, my laptop charger did not want to work in my hotel so I had to buy a universal charger, I had no idea where to get or buy a universal charger so I started at the Supermarket and so every helpful Italian that could speak poko poko Inglese, directed me to Fnac, Fnac is situated right down Via Torino and across Fnac is San Maurilo the street where Ronchi78 is in.
Once again I did not know this information, I walked with my GPS all day finding places, when Fnac told me that they were sold out with chargers, I was so sad so I decided to play on the Wii Party it was amazing its like Zumba, I want a Wii Party WOHOOOO!!!! So after I giggled laughed and amused everyone with shaking my butt cheeks on the Wii Party I took the exit out of Fnac and as I took the exit to Via Torino, I saw the street where Ronchi78 is in, so I went to Ronchi87 again
I entered and Giacomo told me that my friend (ex friend) was down stairs having lunch and I shook my head signalling no thank you, I want to be by myself, hahahahaha, He was talking so loud, hehehe mama mia!!!!
So I had lunch, it was wonderful and then I still without a notebook charger , took the metro back to my hotel. I was walking down Carlo street and surprisingly there was a shop with a universal charger so I bought it and it worked perfectly when I returned back to the hotel.
I was exhausted and I missed everybody at Ronchi78 already so I had to have supper there, I was even so excited to see them to let them know about my experiences, but of coarse communication was a problem and that made me so angry as well as frustrated not to know everything about everybody at Ronchi78, so I tried to self study Italiano.

I went there and Giacomo made his vuvuzela signal it was lovely, it felt like home, like family, warm and happy unconditional acceptance as well as unconditional love everything felt so right.
So that night I was sitting trying to self study Italiano and two men entered the restaurant, always around Giacomo, It was San Carlo and another San, San Carlo keeping pouring me wine, I heard music downstairs and I asked Giacomo if I may go downstairs? He replied "yes".
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, turn one quarter right and another 5 steps down the stairs I saw the singer as well as all the other Italian people that booked for karaoke were all singing from their stomachs and having so much fun, they were all happy, being festive it was magical..... I was standing on the stairs seeing the happy smiles and the joy, the laughter the happiness and I fell in love with Ronchi78 right that moment, so much love filled my core being I got emotional, my heart filled with so much joy, tears pouring down my cheeks with happiness, knowing that if I am not going to be part of this forever I will not exist, I knew already by then that If I had to leave ever I will die of a broken heart!!!!
On the 21st of October 2010 my heart was lost unconditionally for a number of people I hardly knew. What I love about the Italian language is, is that some things should be left unquestioned. Just accept things as they are without asking why!
I feel so passionate about Ronchi78 because my last happy memory as a family died at the age of eight actually, you know given everything else, also struggling and battling life taking worry as well as responsibility onto my shoulders as a really young child, just trying to survive and to keep sane with all the bad that had happened and try smiling trough all these experinces.
I did survive I did pull through and I am too grateful and happy today because I have seen and lived through the worst already. If it was not for God I would have not been here today, I am so grateful.

I fell in love with a Region I love more than windsurfing, with a warm Italian family restaurant I always imagined family to be like and have, and a church considered a masterpiece and an art in so many forms I cannot imagine living without... I am more in love with Ronchi78 I cannot imagine a world without the People, without the guests and without the Festivity.
I have never experienced a Restuarant in my life with so much passion for excellent cuisine, wines, music, karaoke, festivity and so much warm and loving openness.
My heart was stolen and I do not even want it back..... keep it forever and another day.
...... to be continued.....
