Campo de Fiori (Where My Apartment is Located)
I made it! That was pretty much the purpose of this post. I haven't done much yet in Rome, but it was an adventure getting here. I left Seattle at 8:20am on 16 June whereupon I flew to Chicago (I flew over Brookings/Hendricks/Marshall on the way there) and then to Montrèal. However, my flight was delayed from Chicago to Montrèal about forty-five minutes and I didn't have much of a layover in Montrèal so I knew it was going to be close. I got off the plane in Montrèal and then proceeded to run through the airport, through the international connections customs, and then to the gate. Luckily, there were about 15 other people in my same situation so they held the plane for us. I arrived in Rome, where I met up with someone else participating in my program, and then we got a taxi to take us to the UW Rome Center. I spent the rest of my 17 June picking up my Italian cell phone, eating some great carbonara, unpacking, finding where the ATM is, picking up some necessities for the apartment from the store, and generally exploring the area. Now I've been basically awake for 32 hours so it's about time to get some sleep. Tomorrow I will be having a short orientation and going on a guided tour of Rome with one of my professors.
If you need to contact me, email or Facebook is best, but I will also have the following phone numbers (and SMS is much cheaper than a phone call):
Italy (17 June - 22 July): + 39 33 34 53 01 57
Europe (ca. 22 July - ca. 29 July): +1 206 612 0054
Norway (ca. 29 July - 10 August): +47 46 84 81 06
