It’s the morning in Rome. I think I only got a few hours of sleep, but whatever… we’re in Rome! I told myself a long time ago that I was going to learn Italian on the airplane…… that didn’t happen. We land in Rome’s Aeroporto di Fiumicino and make our way to the Leonardo Express that will take us the 30 minutes from the airport into downtown Rome at their ‘Termini’ central train station. It was on the train that I finally picked up that Italian phrasebook I had in my pocket. I figured I’d need to remember ‘grazi’ (thank you) and ‘ciao’ (hi) and ‘Mi dispiace’ (I’m sorry) and ‘non parlo Italiano’ ( I don’t speak Italian) and ‘ho una prenotazione’ (I have a reservation).

Packing

Evan didn’t get any sleep the night before because he was packing all his stuff for Europe, working in the summer, storing things for the fall, and sending back home.

Flights

Left Olin for Boston airport, and we flew to JFK. From JFK we flew an overnight flight to Rome!
