…and also extremely humid. \u00a0At least, it is here in the fabulous city of Roma! \u00a0After the ~32 hour day yesterday, which included two planes, three buses, and one misadventure getting lost downtown for a couple hours, I think it is safe to say that I am finally gathering my bearings in Italy. \u00a0Or at least, I’m less jet-lagged than I was yesterday, which is always good thing.<\/p>\n
A few things I’ve learned over the past two days:<\/p>\n
1) I like gelato.<\/p>\n
2) Romans like their smart-cars and motor-bikes\/vespas.<\/p>\n
3) People like to stare at obviously lost tourists.<\/p>\n
4) Gelato is good.<\/p>\n
5) The bus system here confuses me.<\/p>\n
6) Europeans use Monopoly money as currency.<\/p>\n
7) I recommend un cono piccolo of caffe, creme, and cioccolato.<\/p>\n
8 ) It’s probably a good idea to keep my camera handy when going anywhere, because there is a photo-op around every corner.<\/p>\n
9) I like to create random lists of things that pop into my head at any random moment.<\/p>\n
10) This is just to round out the list, I’ll be honest.<\/p>\n
More posts to follow (and Coming Soon: With Pictures!), but I have lists to make and mothers to Skype, so ciao for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
