Daniele

Although Daniele turned 21 last Friday, there was hardly any time to celebrate. He had a final in thermodynamics that day and a final in quantum mechanics today, leaving just enough time to blow out a few candles, wolf down some brownies and gratefully pocket his much sought-after present from me: money.
I'm quite convinced Daniele will find some use for money in the near future. His summer adventures begin in a couple of days as he heads for various parts of Europe. During the next couple of months he'll be visiting a friend near Stuttgart, family in Bologna, Papá's new home in Florence, attending a European Youth Parliament session in Liverpool, an EYP party in Berlin, visiting my brother and mother in Munich and meeting up with a Rumanian friend (of the female variety) to drive around Rumania and Greece. He sadly turned down an invitation to spend two weeks in Antigua with another friend (also of the female variety, but not identical to the first) in favor of a return to Sweden in mid-August to start his summer job. The job is at the Ångström Lab working under the supervision of my friend, Tomáš, but he won't be involved with solar cells this summer. He'll be there until the end of September.
On October 4th (coincidental to Alessandro's 16th birthday) his new adventures begin at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge.
