Oh. My. Hot!

Hello from the hotter than imaginable Rome...

Dear LORD. Never have I been somewhere this hot. EVER. I shall never again complain about Toronto in August.....

I just arrived and am settling in to my hostel which is ....ok. Someone has been smoking weed in my room, so if nothing else, I'll be high. After I log off here I am headed to wander a bit until dark, I think. NO real plan, which is fun! I am guarding my (WAD!) of cash from Lingue Senza Frontiere with my life! Seriously. We are talking money belt (thanks Mojo!) attached to a belt and inside my clothes. These Italians, man....I am excited to see the ancient city and such...but.

I think after Rome (Saturday night) I will go to Paris...and it will be by plane, as the train is SOOOOOO expensive (the cheapest I could find was close to $400 euros....INSANE). As much as I know I "should" see Florence, Venice, etc.....I have a strong desire to spend some real time in Paris...plus I dont really LOVE Italy (sorry Jane...). Maybe its that Ive been only in the city, maybe its because of the heat....but whatever it is, I am getting eager fora change of scenery. PLus my French is much better than my Italian....

My online time is quickly running down so I shall say adieu...or ciao. Love to you all!!
