Currently, it is 3:17 am Rome time and I am posting a blog. Needless to say, my roommate, Aubree, and I are suffering from jet lag. It has been an Interesting first day here in Roma, after finding out my electricity converter will not charge my laptop, convert enough electricity to heat my straightener or run my hair dryer tensions were running high in room 303. To top off those problems there is also no safe water to drink inside my new home. If by chance we are invaded, hopefully Aubree can sneak outside to the well and pump us a bucket or two.
I was ever hopeful when I learned we would be traveling to the quaint town of Castel Gandolfo. After, a twenty minute uphill walk dodging fiats and angry Italians we arrived. Although red faced and sweating I could not hide my astonishment at the little town. It was the picturesque streets, cafes, and and cigarettes that you picture Rome to be. As my group and I explored, skipping mass of course, we all had renewed hope that adjusting would not be so difficult if we had this to look forward too.
