First day

So day one in Rome. We woke up on the plane and had breakfast before the descent. We. Met up with Jeremy and he helped us get a cab. Since there were so many in my group we went and got a mini bus. What a mistake. Our driver was crazy, not that everyone else was sane. Apparently in Rome the lines on the road are just guidleines. He then took us and dropped us off at the wrong place and complained we did not tip him. (Tipping in Italy isn’t common) We had to walk 2 blocks with all of our luggage. What a mess. After checking in we were introduced to our apartments, which are very different from American ones. For starter the toilets looked really weird and they don’t have water in the bowel until u flush them. To turn on the stove you have to first turn the gas on the light it with a lighter. After setting in and having nap time (ugg jet lag) we went to the welcome dinner, which was fantastic. We had pasta, Pork and tiramisu. After taking a night walk through Piazza Novona we then retired to bed whew what a day.
