Hello everyone!!!
I made it safe after too many hours in a plane!!!! We waited in the Rome airport for 2.5 hours before a shuttle picked us up to come to the campus. Seven of us rode in a taxi/van and I sat in the front. Italians drive crazy! If there are two lanes, there are three cars side by side. We almost hit an old lady crossing the street!! I must have said 10 hail mary's on the way to campus...... No one in the car knew any italian and the driver didn't know english so I was able to translate a little! I have been assigned housing in an appartment by the Vatican!! It will be so much fun. I am off to move into my new appartment and hopefully get a cell phone. I will keep posting about my first day...
Arrivederci

When you cross the streets in Rome you go to a Zebra(Road markings on the pavement).But be careful because even though you have the right of way, Romans don't like to stop with their cars and scooters.Have some gelato on the Spanish steps.Its really a cool area!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got there safely!! I can't wait to here about everything you're going to be seeing and doing. I need to remeber one thing-when you're looking for that fine Italian man, make sure that he has two house. The family needs a place to stay when we go on vacation!(hehe) Have a great time and be safe!!!!!! We love you.
