The flight went well. It was only a little taxing and we could have used more rest. I was able to get a couple short hours of sleep on the plane. Leslie didn't get any. At least they have those fancy personl TVs that allowed us to watch any number of newly released movies on demand. It was Tangled and The Chronicles of Narnia for Leslie and True Grit for me.
We arrived in Rome without any problems and got picked up at the airport by Rhodora and Fabio. The highway driving seemed to be only a little more nerve-racking than in Houston. The city driving is another story. I was amazed by how the scooters will ride between the lanes and sometimes even zip into the opposite lane of traffic and back so as to quickly get around a couple more cars.
Our hotel is nice. It's called Hotel Sileo. The shower situation is a little odd because there is no curtain and you have to sit down. According to our Italian friends, the "sit down shower" is not that uncommon. But overall it's a nice, quaint little room.
Last night we grabbed dinner with wine and tiramisu. I can tell I'm going to love the food here.
It's raining this morning. New rain coats were a good investment. Hopefully the rain will be brief, as we're about to begin our sightseeing.
That's all for now. Ciao!
