boBo's graduation day.
i hadn't heard from him in almost 24 hours by the time that i finally called him. i had received an email earlier stating that he was on his last train ride to bologna to present his thesis to the committee and hopefully finish his degree once and for all. like me, it had been a rather grueling and lengthy expansion of time to the finish. but the turtle does win the race.
when i finally did get him on the phone he was engulfed in a cacophony of sounds, glasses clinking and voices competing for an ever higher pitched laughter.
"i'm done," he said. "i finished first in my class and now i'm here with my parents, aunt and sister getting drunk."
fair enough. well deserved and i wanted to be there in order to celebrate the night away with him. here are the pictures i took as he was reveling in his success. god, i love that man.
