Life's A Beach
I promise I'll post something in the near future more interesting than my oddly tilted and disembodied head and Valentina's maleducatiĆ²n.
Not for nothing, a day at the beach might not cure what ails you after a long night out quite like brunch at the Screendoor or Gravy's, but it's close.
My Permesso expires in September which means I have to start the renewal process now if I want to maintain my legal residency status as it can take 60-70 days for the new one to be issued. Assuming all goes well. Since this is bureaucracy, Italian bureaucracy at that, all will most likely not go well. Not to mention, it will soon be August and in Italy, as in most of Europe, absolutely nothing gets done during the month of August when everyone takes their summer holiday. So far, I've had two appointments to obtain and complete required paperwork. They went very smoothly so I'm optimistic that previous experience and good fortune are on my side. All that remains is purchasing the required tax stamp, taking new identification photos, a trip to the post office, fingerprinting, and two trips to the Questura and at the end of all that I'll be a legal resident for another year. The question is, can I get that at all done before September? The better question is, will they let me get that all done before September? The quest is on!
