With only four hours of sleep, I got up on Saturday, 6/30 at 6am to start actually packing. I had pulled out items, but didn't put anything actually in my suitcase. With a last load of laundry done, I ventured for one last Target run. It's amazing how quiet Target can be on a Saturday morning. Below is my packed bags. Yes...that is a carry-on with a backpack. With the train travel I will do post-Rome, I didn't want to lug around a large bag. Especially through the cobblestone streets of Venice.
At 5pm I said Ciao to Boston.....and after an uneventful 8 hour plane ride I arrived in Rome this morning to this....my first Italian capaccino and a chocolate croissant (i mean Nutella!!!). I met fellow classmates and we hitched a ride to the John Felice Center in Balduina, just north of Vatican City. We are heading to the market now..we are also in search of where we will watch tonight's big soccer game. More to come!
