I sure haven't. I have been searching from the first minute I put a toe down onto that earth belonging to Italy--I scurvied right down to Salerno with a smile for a face and to my surprise found everyone from my city except for my relatives! Two trips aren't quite enough and it will continue to be an obssesion for me..until I hear " yes, Rinaldi I am a Rinaldi sister of Erasmo!" I found the sister of the lady who owns the biggest pizzeria in my city, she works in the city hall of Bracigliano! I found Claudio in his salami factory who is cousins of my cousins, and grandfather to my aunts best friend Francis Calvanese who is also a relative of US Rinaldi's. I couldn't understand a darn thing since their dilect is strong and strange. I struggled door after door of Rinaldi's and if the name wasn't specified, I knocked to ask which I should knock at. All the time hardly breaking through this tough crusted plate of words.

After all that, I simply fled home and filled the bath up high with hot scalding water, melted into it, and pretended that it was all just a crazy dream.
