We've been here in Italy for little over a week now and the past two days the weather has been kind of gloomy. When it rains here though it's a lot like rain in Hawaii, it a really thin soft rain. And when it starts to rain, it only trickles for a little bit at a time. It's a lot like when it's snowing, you can hold out your tongue and only a few raindrops will nick it.
My roommates are also going down like the weather, everyone (expect me and Ben... I think?) Are getting sick! Two days before I came to Italy I was fighting off a serious sinus infection and possibly the flu! But luckily when I arrived to Italy I felt 100% better. Aaron and Spencer I don't think will be going out with us tonight.
A lot of people went to Switzerland like I said in that last post this weekend and I'm actually really mad that I didn't go :( Since I was in 4th grade my lifetime goal has been to ski the Swiss Alps...
At the same time though that's ok cause we are going to Amsterdam this next weekend, Greece the weekend after that and then Switzerland after that, and even if I go ski alone, I'm doing it!!
Last night, I was walking back from the market that's close to my apartment. I had two large bags in both hands that I was trucking across the street when I heard a little buzz, then BAM! A black scooter, with it's front light out, came flying down the road and nailed me in the right arm. This sent all the groceries in my left arm flying everywhere. My coat is cut pretty bad, and I have shards of the side view mirror in my arm. This place is really scary to cross the street in there are no "right-always" and no lanes of traffic either, you can drive in zig zags, I was on a cross-walk, with the little white sign showing "you can walk now" when this happened also. All the Italians tell you to just be aggressive and stick your hand out and tell them to stop... Yeah, that's not going to happen! So I'm posting this video on here so everyone can have an idea of what Italy is like compared to the rest of Europe!
And since it's Friday that means we are all going out tonight in Rome, hopefully it's the only weekend we go out here for awhile I am really anxious to start traveling all of Europe... Tonight we are heading to an "Ice Bar". But this time we won't have most of the roommates, I don't think any of them are starting to feel better at all... Fingers crossed I don't get sick.
Until Next time CIAO
