Bella Roma!

I have arrived in Rome!
It is beautiful. Also, very busy and people drive like manics. But I like it.
My wonderful Uncle Denis drove me to the airport and then I was in Toronto all of a sudden. After only 2 hours there, I was not in Rome all of a sudden. I was on the plane however. It was a very long trip. But, when we were about to land, it was 6:30 in the morning here. The sunset was so stunning. I've never seen it like that before. It was a rainbow starting from the glowing red sun over the mountains all the way to the almost black blue sky on the other side of the sky.
I got my hostel via shuttle bus, and locked my things up there, but I cannot go back until 2:30 to check in. So far I have just been walking around, but I am going to look for a SIM card this afternoon and some food. Also, I am going to find out where and how I can take out more money.
I am here tonight and tomorrow, and then I am going to Urbino where I will meet my family! I am excited to have a home base and people to recognize everday again.
I already miss everyone a lot and things seem kind of lonely when you are travelling alone, but I know it will only get better.
Ciao for now!

  1. Manics? Or maniacs? Perhaps either would be appropriate. Also I assume you were speaking of the stunningness of the sunRISE and not sunSET as it was 6:30 am... but I'll blame all this on your crippling jet lag. But in all the flurry and excitement of a new country, don't forget the impotence of proofreading.
    Also, where's my text? Beth said she got one at 3:45 (p.s., there's a time difference). Yo?
