I have officially been in
la città eterna for 3 full days! They have been packed full of fun and many surprises. The first surprise was that there is NO air conditioning. No window units. No fans. And just in case you were wondering it has been over 90 degrees everyday since I have been here.
Fa molto caldo!
However, the family is wonderful. I mean how could you not love these kids?
They family is so welcoming and it is amazing how comfortable I feel here! I am also to have Jess (their girl whose place I am taking) here to show me around the city and how life works here. I have eaten a crazy amount of carbs and am pretty sure I have already gained about ten lbs, which does not bode well considering the amount of time I have left.
On another note, I really cannot believe how amazing Rome is. Its a mixture of old and new all together. I literally walk past the Colosseum every day, and there are ruins of old buildings everywhere. Here is just a sampling of what we have been update! There will be much more to come later. Oh an sorry no pics of the Colosseum yet, but I promise I will get some soon!
So fun to finally see pictures! Oh my goodness...the kids are BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait to see & hear more...love you!!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they! Let's skype soon!
ReplyDeleteWahoo! I am so excited for you. But seriously...no air? Is it similar to the day we went to the mall? That was so embarrassing :) The kids are precious and you guys are going to bond so well. Did you pack everything you need so far?
