Yippie! I've Arrived!

Whoa!

I'm here in Rome! I've found my Hostel at the Chianti Hostel, in central Rome. The flight was annoying... I can not stay still for 8 hours on a plane. I had to get up, walk around... listen to people speak Italian.

30 mins. or so before touchdown, out the window was Mercury and Venus, teasing the sun to rise a little further. The clouds blanketed the Mediterranean, heavenly for sure. The signs in the airport are in two languages, Italian and English. Baggage claim took about 45 minutes, and the bus that I hoped for (was 7 euros) was out of commission. I had to take the rail (11 euros). The bricks! And the houseplants, clothes hanging -- and the graffiti! So amazing, it seems people have a collective likeness to each of these (maybe not the graffiti, but I enjoyed it). Along the train ride from the airport . . . wait. I can't type about it really. I'm way to freaking tired. It's 10:20am - which is really 2:20am to me. The Hostel has lockout for 5 hours (from 11am until 4pm), so I'm going to catch a shower, stash my stuff and head out.

Check back soon for pics!
