Saturday Vance and I went to Ostia (outskirts of Rome) to see Vance's school friend, Sherraine Mackay. She is currently ranked #1 in the world (not to brag or anything) in women's epee fencing. Her competition was very exciting to watch. They did a remarkable job. 3 of the 'old girls' made it into the top 64. Here is a pic of her competing in the semifinals in which she placed third for the bronze medal. Afterwards the Canadian team ( a bunch of great gals), their coach and judge joined Vance and I in Trastevere for a good meal and delicious gelati. We had a blast and Sherraine wrote her second novel in the inside of our copy of her first book. Did I confuse you there? GO BUY HER BOOK!!! Running with Swords! It's absolutely hilarious! She was a joy to have around and hopefully Vance and I will be able to watch her compete again in Torino in October 2006 for the World Championships! In bocca al lupo Sherraine!!!!
