My trip to Rome was delightfully uneventful.
Flight to Toronto, flight to Rome, taxi to appartment, done.
Makes for a terrible story, but a happy me.
My roommates all seem really great and despite the fact that we're a bunch of random 20-somethings we seem to get along, even when sleepy, hungry and jet-lagged.
We know the true test of friendship is trench fever though!
Our appartment is very small but adorably decorated in lime green (one tiny bathroom for five gals is going to make for an interesting summer!
We went for a walk before we had to meet for orientation and picked up a few groceries - there is a fruit/veggie market just outside our from door!
We walked to the American Institute for Roman Culture for our orienation meeting then (and passed a real cool looking consignment/vintage store on the way which I will need to check out in the near future!!) and met the Programming directors and other students before going for a pizza dinner at a nice little restaurant just off the Via dei Fori Imperali.
My aubergine and corgette (I'm sooo euro chic with my lingo) pizza was quite delicious and I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow's cold pizza breakfast!
So, stuffed and exhausted we returned home to crash. I've organized my closet space and packed my fanny pack up for tomorrow's 8 hour walking tour!
I'll conclude this entry with an ode to my terrible packing skill in the form of a list of the things I forgot.
- the 4 bottles of sunscreen I bought (11 euro for one new bottle - ouch)
- my makeup bag (including tweezers, nail clippers, eyelash curler, makeup and makeup brushes)
- my backpack
- face cloths
- water bottle
go me.
luckily these are all quite replacable and what lady doesn't love an excuse for new makeup and tools!
I dunno why but I'm crazy and just figured out why you weren't updating (I was loading the wrong page lol!) glad the flight was stress-free! Good luck with the bathroom.... :\ miss you!
