Looking for a living situation in Santa Marinella next year?

Ciao tutti!

An acquaintance of mine who is a very good person is looking to live here in Santa Marinella next year sent me an email to post to our blog asap. So here it is:

I am looking to live in Santa Marinella next year. I
have two questions:

1. I have found a possibility for a very nice
apartment there which should fit four girls at
800/month (so 200/person/month). Any takers? I have
to decide in the next few days if I should take it or
not, and the people I originally thought would go in
with me look like they're backing out for various
reasons. So I thought posting to the Santa Marinella
blog might be the fastest way to get in contact with
people who may be interested.

2. OR: Is there anyone who is rearranging living
situations for next year and looking for a roommate
(housemate)?

-----------

Her name is Maria Colonna, and as I said above, she is a great Catholic and person who will make a good flatmate. To reach her, leave a comment on this blog post. I will authorize her today to post on the blog herself in case she has more to communicate. Best wishes on all upcoming exams and travels! -jon

Where do 8 months go in Italy?

I guess being Jon's sister isn't qualified enough to get a post regarding departure. :)
I am leaving for home this Wednesday, June 6th. It has come up so quickly, I don't really know what to expect. Except for, I guess, lots of momma's home cooking! I would like to say goodbye to everyone here in Santa Marinella. You all have made my trip so very enjoyable. And unfortunately I don't have a cent to my credit on my phone, and I don't really want to add more with less than 24 hours in Italy. So if you could all pass on the word to whom ever you see, it would be wonderful.
All I am proposing, really simple, is a gathering at the Gigi bar at around 5 pm tomorrow.
I'll be there. Hopefully I'll see a few of you kids there too!
If not, again, I can't really express in words how much you all have touched me these past 8 months. The only way I can really think of is a really good hug. So just come down for 5 minutes, if that is all you can spare! I am pretty good at giving hugs.
So, see you tomorrow!
