Day 1
Highligts:
Our flight from jfk to Rome was delayed by an hour on the runway because of a tire problem.
We almost paid forty euros for 14 euro train tickets because the vendor spokenbad English.
The first people we met were two backpackers from brazil and though we befriended them in the morningand then left them at the train station we later randomly saw them when we were walking on some random street.
Nearly keeling over from exhaustion after being awake for 28 hours
Eating amazing gelato (at least I thought it was amazing. I had pistachio and joanna had lemon).
Seeing the colosseum and walking in the rich neighborhoods to get there.
It’s been great so far but it is only the first day so hopefully it will just get better!
