Irlie perils of Melissa
• "What's a nice girl like me doing in a
• place like this?"
Melissa Becker must have thought
that a couple of times during her recent
trip to Italy. ...
At the conclusian'of two weeks at a
camp sponsored by the lions/ Club to
assist with orientation to the country,
her camera was stolen on the last night
•• The 18 -year-old Luclmow resident
was also in hospital, but not because of
the car accident. No, she spent the night
in hospital because. she pulled a muscle
in her leg while playing a field game:
She emerged virtually unscathed from
the accident after the car in. which she
was a passenger crashed into a cement
wall. ,
"Drivers over there are crazy,"
understated the pretty blonde.
' Melissa decided she didn't want to
, spend the sununer in Lucknow this
• year. When she heard of the lions Club
program helping to fund to some extent

enthused. • •
Then her camera was stolen, a Ricoh

seemed to be the start of the challeng-
ing part of the trip. /
As part of the program, the lions
arrange for participants to live with an
• Italian family for about a month.
Melissa received the wrong train ticket
• and ended up 200 kilometers away from
her destinatien, and not surprisingly,
• without her language. Even in the midst
of this, while she was absorbing the fact
she was lost in a foreign country whose
language she didn't ialOW, without her
• luggage and with only tentative ideas on
how to get out of her predicament, she
was taking in the peculiarities of the
country, the people and all the apsects
of the culture that make Italy, Italy.
Her incidents with the hospital and,
the car accident came later.
And living with the family, while

owned a lot of houses." Their wealth
