So technically it is Day 2 already. Factor in the 6 hour time difference, and that made it shortly after noon (Paris time) when we landed from our first flight. However after only a few hours of sleep on the flight, it did not feel like noon! After a short visit to the Paris airport, we took off again at 2pm for Rome. The 2 hour flight didn't seem too bad after the last one. We landed in Rome around 4pm, FINALLY! Everyone looked exhausted from the long flight and I could tell everyone was anxious to get some sleep. As tired as I felt, I was ready to get the adventure started! This would be my fourth visit to Italy, and I wanted to make the most of the time I was spending in this amazing country! We boarded the bus, met our bus driver Giuseppe, and headed off towards the hotel. On our way, we picked up our tour director, Tyson. He got right to the itinerary and brought us to a nice little restaurant for our first dinner with our group. I sat with Charlie and his wife Marty, as well as a nice couple from Nevada and a few other students from our Oneonta group. After a delicious dinner, and a few bottles of Chianti wine (a great start to an Italian adventure), we headed to our hotel to get settled in for the night. I was assigned to room with a girl named Emily, and we turned out to be great friends! Next door to us was Caitlin and Angela, another two girls from our group which we would later room with and become good friends. After getting settled into our rooms, a few of us decided to walk around the corner and get some gelato (another great way to start an Italian adventure!). Exhausted after a long day of traveling, I set my alarm for the early morning wake up and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
