The door of my apartment
Sorry it has taken me a couple days to post anything but it has been a hectic couple of days.....
First i never want to fly by myself again out of the country. That was the worst experience of my life.
Second one of my bags is still on it's way to Florence somewhere. This bag is the bag I purposely packed so that if I lost the other one it would be okay. My flight that was going to Madrid I ran late on because my flight to Charlotte, NC was delayed. So there was no more overhead space on the flight to Madrid and I had to check it. Of course that bag still hasn't made it.
Third, I never thought I would miss home so much. This is a huge adjustment that I should be used to but it is a lot different than I thought.
Last but not least, I have been having a wonderful time. It is absolutely beautiful here and I am kind of getting the hang of where everything is. Well only a few things. I never realized how much money you need to have over here, it is outrageous. The rate is ridiculous because as we all know our dollar is worth nothing.
The scenery is just like I expected. The cafe's, bar's, shopping, everything. It is all gorgeous and so ancient looking that it is breathtaking. The Duomo is a couple blocks from my apartment.
Here are a couple of pictures from my window of the plane....
More to come!
Ciao,

I want that door on my house! I wish we had that kind of architecture and other elements here. So beautiful! Hope your bag finds it's way soon. I am so excited for you!!

just breathe in and breathe out.....you will adjust. I know that even though everything is gorgeous...you still aren't home. Give yourself a couple of more days.....the jet lag and everything else will work its way out and you will be fine. Everything is way expenseive...you will figure out the best places for everything..the markets are wonderful. Just stay away from the touristy side and go to Oltrano. Ciao, bella.
