Okay, we are here, sitting in our Roma apartment, in awe of how amazing it is. We boarded the plane at 3pm yesterday, and watched the sunrise over the city as we were about to land. It was poetic in every way. After waiting literally 2 hours for our luggage, a tall gangly man who resembled a cartoon character shuttled us to our new home. He talked to the radio and let us barrow his phone, it was the new blackberry (it is a beautiful phone, but I digress.) Our eyes grew and we kept getting so excited that we couldn't form words. After almost a year and a half of planning, we arrived.
Our apartment has great hardwood floors, two story ceilings, and a view to die for. The city smells like good food, and the air is crisp. We walked around our neighborhood, tried to figure out the train/ bus, but got so tired that walking became a difficult task. We decided to come home and unpack, settle, and sleep. We can conquer Roma in the morning.
