Finally in ROMA!

Today is the first day in Rome! We arrived today at 12:30 p.m. Roman time and got to our apartment in Trestevere around 2 p.m. We took an airport shuttle with all 5 of my arriving crew to our individual places and met the apartment lady that gave us keys and a tour.

THE APARTMENT IS HUGE!!! (pictures will come soon!) I was blown away at how big the apartment is considering the photos we saw of last year, which consisted of our American equivalent of a one bedroom hotel room with kitchenette holding two people per room. Pretty much dorm room all over again.....but not this year!! Our place is WAY bigger than any of my apartments Ive had in auburn. There are 2 other guys living with me and we drew straws to see who gets the one bed room (versus the larger 2 bed room), and I was lucky enough to get the single!

Im all moved in now, which is a relief to not be living out of a suitcase for once. We ate at a small gelato (icecream) shop today with a nice Italian owner named Georgio, who then reccomended a pizzeria to us that all the locals enjoy. We ate there and were impressed at how good the food was, and the house wine was amazing!

Now its time to catch up on some sleep that is much needed for our big day tomorrow!
