Living the lottery

Almost two year ago and friend of mine sent me a link to play the lottery. Not the kind of lottery that gives you cash, but the one that gives you a green card to live in USA. I won. I chose San Francisco. Because I have a wonderful friend, who is helping me to start a new life here, because is by the sea, because the sun shines very often and because it felt good. I’m here now and I would like to share this experience with my friends and all those who wonder what it feels like to start over.

Green card and sunshine

Today I received my Green card. I can now hold it in my hands!
United States of America Permanent Resident. It feels so strange to read. I’m really here and I can stay. One year ago, Easter time, I could have never imagined I’d be here.

I’m excited, but I do still wonder if this is true. Then I look at the card and I convince myself that it must be.

Sunshine at 23 degrees and my new card have made this day truly special.

I celebrated at the park with Stefano! Yuhhh!
