I am sitting on a tile floor in room 401 in the dorms on the UD Dui Santi campus in Italy. It is about 7:45pm here, but about 1:45pm est. I have been awake for about 28 hours. Alexandra and I are trying to keep each other awake until 8:15 when we can go and stuff ourselves full of good Italian food and wine in the mensa and then pass out in our new room. The alarm will go off at 5:30am tomorrow morning so that we can go to early morning Mass at St Peter's. Our room is pretty nice but is lacking in drawers.... We have one bunk-bed (I have the top bunk and Alex has the bottom) and our other roommate Candice has a loft bed, under which are our three closets. We don't have suite mates like most of the rooms for some reason, so it's just the three of us sharing one bathroom, which is fairly large and has two showers and two sinks. The campus is beautiful! I'm far too sleep-deprived to describe it, but the view from our room is fantastic. I will write more when I have had some sleep.

Cool photos! I love the little garden and the outdoor kitchen. What is the temp like there? It is 27 degrees here and all your siblings are at the March for Life.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a good night's sleep!
Oh, wow, I didn't know people slept sideways in Italy! Travel is so broadening.
ReplyDelete@mom: It has been about 50 in the sun here, I think. It is very cold in our room, though. We have all just been wearing our coats and scarfs everywhere, in doors and out.
ReplyDeleteDo they not have central heating? Maybe not. Ah well, you can get used to hanging if you hang long enough!
