HOME SWEET HOME

Hey guys!

I’m finally home :)  I must say it feels good.  However our flight home was no easy peasy.  We actually got delayed!  So everything was pretty good on the flight from Rome to Heathrow.  As we were passing security to board our next flight, they took away my perfume and facewash :( boo.  After that, me and Lola got on the elevator.  I was ahead on the escalator and when I nearly reached the top, I heard a thud.  There I found Lola on the bottom of the escalator with something red filling up the lines of the escalator.  I quickly went down and tried to not freak out.  Thank goodness there was this Irish man person who kept Lola’s head up while I kept her feet up on the escalator.  We quickly called for help and they found that she got a cut on the back of her head!  This was probably the most traumatic thing I’ve ever encountered.  I can’t forget the image.  Lola keeps saying it’s no big deal but I guess for me it is.  Anyway, we got on the ambulance and went to the nearest hospital.  The ambulance people were really nice and the doctor was nice and chill.  She just glued the cut shut and we were ready to board the next flight.  My Lola’s tough.  Holler.

After all that, it was smooth sailing.  Sorta.  Because our flight got delayed, we missed our connecting flight to DC.  However British Airways gave us a free night at the Hilton near Logan Airport.  It was nice, real nice.  We caught our 8am the next day and by 930am we were in DC.  Thank God.

This was the roughest flight I’ve ever been through.  This trip has been definitely one of a kind.  It had it’s peaks and troughs but overall it’s an experience I would never forget.  Now that I’m back, let’s hang out so I can tell you more stories rather than just reading about it :)

As they say in Italia, CIAO CIAO!

My Girl

I’m really in love with this show.  It’s a Filipino adaptation of a Korean telenovela.  Someone get me the dvd or videos of it please!??

Rome is dusty...

Apparently it comes from the Sahara Desert.  Who knew?

To escape the citylife, Lola and I are going to Naples, Capri, and Anacapri on Tuesday.  Should be fun.  It’s our first official tourgroup thing so we’re definitely gonna be learning something.

Update on Rome:

We haven’t been doing much considering it’s HOT as crap here.  Here’s a list of places we’ve been to:

  • Vatican City - St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican Museum
  • Fountain of Trevi
  • Spanish Steps
  • The stores that reminded me of Felice near the Spanish Steps
  • Some churches where I was informed I can’t wear shorts
  • Colosseum
  • Palatino - where we saw the ruins but decided to not go because it was a long ass walk

We plan on going to these places soon:

  • Piazza Navona
  • Vittorio Emmanuele II
  • Pantheon
  • Piazza Venezia
  • Some Botanical Garden for Lola [which is SO far and has no metro passing by it -_-
  • The other three main Basilicas: St. Paul outside the wall, Santa Maria Maggiore, and St. John

I guess it’s a good thing we’re still here for 12 days…
