Finally made it to the farm.

Yesterday morning I woke up at 6am (Seattle time) and headed to the airport for the first flight of my adventures! I flew from Seattle to Philadelphia and then from there straight to Rome. I met a lot of cool people on the plane and they were all more than willing to tell me secret things to do in the city. I got off the plane around 9:30am (Rome time) and after hours of taking the train (and admittedly taking the wrong one once) I got picked up from the train station by Daniel and taken to the farm! The house and the farm are wonderful. The house is big and brick, surrounded with tall skinny trees and with sweeping views of the Italian hillside. My room has a spiral staircase so I feel really fancy every time I walk up them. The walls are covered with bookcases, crammed with every type of book you can imagine. Claudio and Michelle are husband and wife, Daniel is their son, and they are all very welcoming. They have a small cat and an adorable golden retriever that I'm excited to become best friends with. It is only 6:45pm here, but I am so exhausted I feel like I'm permanently on a boat because my vision is swaying so much. Goodnight from Italy!
