In Italia...

I'm in Italy. Its crazy. Finally got some sleep and I feel better, and am excited to be here. Was so tired before, all the people I'm here with from Marist were annoying me...except for a select few that im friends with. lol.

But things are great now. Our room in the hotel is really cute. its kinda tiny, but the bathroom is huge. and we have this really big tub and our shower head is one of those ones that you have to hold and move around on your own which is interesting to get used to. lol. we missed breakfast, so i cant say how the hotel does with that...but we walked around this morning, and i thought i was taking us to this cafe by the internet place, but we ened up no where near it (haha gonna be interesting in florence). we found a different cafe where my friends brittany and stephanie got coffee and kim and i went into a pizza place. its great cuz brittany and stephanie both know more italian. families speak it. but kim and i hardly know anything so we're in there pointing and gestering and hes like....what do you speak (in italian) and he was like ohhhh english. so we're like you speak english?! cuz nobody does. but he doesn't. but we got the pizza. kim got a pepperoni and i had a bite, pretty good. but mine was GREAT. white pizza with mozzerella and proscheutto (spelling). it was soo good. and the actually had naturale water instead of the fizzy stuff that we had everywhere else we went. lol. so we'll be back, so we're leaving and hes like at the door waving and watching us, an dim like. ci vediamo domani (see you tomorrow) and he just laughed. but we're definitely going back. its so gooood.

But yea, I'm going to rome on saturday! its a field trip with the class im taking. we go early so we can shop and do whatever we want, and then a 4 hour tour thru the pantheon and colessuem and roman forum and stuff. its cool. im excited. we thought about staying overnight and paying for the hostel an dour own way home, but we both will probably be back there with our families when they come up, so we're ok. plus we've been there before. i mean i never made it to the vatican, and i would like to see st. peters. but, va bene. maybe i will ....

hmm..so its monday, and the gelaterias might not be open! I still haven't gotten any, but soon. probably tomorrow. first thing in the morning. haha. well, th eother class just let out and they will probably all be in here looking for a computer soon, so im gonna get going. i'll write more later.

oh wait....i finally feel like im in italy now....cuz last night walking back from the welcome dinner was awesome. it was like being in a movie. small street all lit up with christmas lights and cobblestone with a huge fountain at one of the tiny intersections and people walkin around speaking italian. definitely in italy :-)

Ciao
