Jordan and girlfriend Elena

OK, so our camera was stolen by the airport security people in Tampa. Kevin took these photos at night in Rome, using an older digital camera. Elena was somewhat embarrassed (imagine having to meet your boyfriend's parents from the states on the spur of the moment when you don't even speak English very well). She handled it with good humor and grace.

Jordan and Elena

Jordan and Elena, the night we all went to dinner. Elena is shy and doesn't speak English as well as she'd like, but her charm comes though the communication barriers.

Paolina the singer

This is Paolina. She's a rather eccentric singer and songwriter that Jordan accompanies during her concerts. Here she is wearing a costume that one of J's friends designed for her. Perfect for someone who loves publicity. This is how she appeared in concert. P.S. Her songs are rather interesting, even though she can't sing very well.
