ship's horn can be heard. ready to move or just docked... people are lined up in a narrow passageway, and a sign of "Port Control" was on the wall.
people move slowly, one by one, show their passports to the port control officer for identification confirmation, and get it stamped as "approved" to begin the fun of their travel...
he is close now, *Click Click*. his friend just got his passport stamped, moved forward and picked a corner to wait for his friends. next Italian went forward, took off his hat... *click click*, "Grazie mille" he said after he took his passport back and moved forward...
now its Luca_Changretta to get the approval, he walks gently to the officer behind the bars, and passes him the passport slowly, then he turned his face to officer, showing his eyes covered by the hat...
 "take of the hat" officer said
he took of his hat unwillingly, and then faced the officer again. he looked at Luca again, and after a brief pause, "you with those other Italians?" officer asked, maybe to make sure at least if those two got their approval easily, helps him to give Luca the approval as well, despite the face of rage and suspicious he had.
 "we are americans, it says it right there on the paper...USA..." Luca answered irritably. the officer leaf the passport, looking for another question,
 "and whats the purpose of your visit?"

 "Pleasure!..." Luca answered, with a bitter smile appearing and fading on his face. he saw the passport got stamped, took it from the officer, and joined his friends leaving the docks...
