Starting Out

---

Hi everyone. I've been inspired by a friend of mine who is a blogging queen over her study abroad trips so we will see how this works and if I have freqent enough internet access. It is a little under a week before I leave for Italy so I thought I would set this up as means for you guys (my darling family and select friends!) to be updated on my life while I am becoming "cultured"!
