Sponser Me!

Here is something cool I found about an Italian woman with my name:
     Adeliza de Borgomanero (c. 1350-c. 1370) was an Italian murderess. The wife of a count from the Val d’Ossala region, she was exiled to a remote castle at Bellagio, near Lake Como, because of her iniquitous behavior. Adeliza held court at the castle, taking lovers as she chose. Legend turned her into a vampire-siren figure in popular lore, and she was said to have ordered her lovers to commit suicide the morning after their sexual revels. Those that chose to refuse this option were dropped through an oubliette into the lake below.

    Hey Adeliza,

    My name is Jennifer and I am a former AFSer. I went to Italy in 2007-2008, to Cosenza in Southern Italia. I am also from New Mexico and I was just dropping you a line to tell you that what you are doing is amazing. Also if you want to talk about Italy or anything just let me know. I wish I could be at the event in New Mexico next month but I am at school in Arizona :(! I wish you the best of luck in pursuing your dream, and from experience I can tell you are going to have the year of your life!

    Best wishes
    Jenn
