Sick ...

Overall Rome has been an exciting experience so far! But I have bad news... I am SICK ! I've been sick for about 2 weeks now & I don't know how to get rid of this nasty cough that I have. There are days where the cough isn't as bad as it was before but then it goes right back to being bad the next day. I've been to the farmacia to get something for it but it doesn't seem like it is working !

Okay, enough about my cold! Let's talk about Rome so far. It's pretty much everything that I didn't expect! I was kind of scared to come over here because people were constantly warning me about pick pocketers and making sure you stuff does not get stolen! Now, I know I have to be aware of my surroundings and always make sure my belongings are safe but not once have I felt that I was in a bad place or I was going to get robbed.

The people here are extremely nice, some are aggressive but overall they are nice! There are a lot of people that speak English here so it makes it easier for me and my roommates to communicate and get around the city.

Tomorrow Jen, Nathalie, and I will be going on a day trip to Venice! It's supposed to be freezing I guess I have to put on extra layers. I hope to take a lot of pictures and upload them on this site but it's just hard to keep up with this blog & live in the exciting city of Rome !

Roma !

I've been here for 3 weeks now ! I love it! I've been meaning to write in my blog for a couple of days now but I always forgot. My roommates are Nathalie , Jennifer , Sarah , and Mary and I love them all. Our second week in Rome we went on a "neighborhood tour" that took us through the center of Rome where we got to see some Ruins, the Coliseum, the place where Caesar died (which is now a pet sanctuary) , and we also got to eat Gelato's. I'm hoping that we get to see more soon but I haven't adjusted to the time change yet.  I will try to post pictures later on this week !
