Today, Sidney, Brittany, Andrew, Keagan and I [Haile], all met at the airport around 6AM in Tampa to arrive in New York at around 10AM. After a long flight, I met with Dan in Amsterdam and boarded our flight to Rome. In Rome, the airport was so tiny, yet so confusing!

We took a bus to the Hotel, and took a quick orientation around Rome shortly after we dropped our bags off. We saw were the Pope resides, ate lunch (and I had Gelato YUMMY!), I also purchased a few items curbside via walking around in town. So far, we’ve had blast, eating, walking, learning and getting to know each other. I can’t wait to see what else this trip has in store.

Ciao! We’ll write soon!
