WEEK ONE!

CAN YOU SAY WOW! I wasn't expecting for Rome to be so different from what I imagined! But of course I mean that in a good way. Many things are miniature sized over here; small cars, small products, small stores! Hahaha I've never actually been as tall as a fridge before but now I have been SERIOUSLY! Well my first week in Rome has been great! I've done a lot of shopping especially for food. I'm not sure why but I love going to the super markets out here! I've actually found  HEINZ KETCHUP here, thought that was pretty neat.

So when I was told you would do a lot of walking here, THEY WERE NOTTTT LYING! I live on via Pascarella and the walk to school is crazyyy! Thank god for the tram and buses, which by the way are not as bad some may say! They are pretty consistent only thing is that people like to crowd by the doors instead of MOVINGGG towards the free'd up areas.

Besides shoppingggg I've been doing alot of cooking which I'm loving :) Also the downtown of Rome is AMAZINGGG! The shopping strips are so crowded and lively! You can find so many things on sale, "saldi" out here.

Italians, are crazyyy drivers! They park whichever way they can fit their smart cars seriously haha! They speak really fast but my spanish has been really getting me by thank god!


Till next time

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR TRAVELING!!!

SO i just bought the most comfy boots by far! can't wait to walk around in them in ROME! 18 days left till my departure day and I'm definitely feeling anxious! I'm just praying that everything goes smoothly. Only thing I'm worried about is this whole packing thing? I HATE PACKING! I'll let yins know how that goes for me next time!

PEACE AND MUCH LOVE,
