Roma

Technically I should stop blogging because blog name is me in espana.. which i am no longer! For anyone that cares, I made it to Rome -- to my hostel, more importantly, in one piece. We had one last hurrah at Valors before we met up at 1am for our bus to Madrid Airport. Got there around 4am and while Vera got to check in, the rest of us camped out and slept on the floor like bums until 7am when people actually started arriving. We got stared down by every passer-byer.

Every few hours or so one person would get the chance to get in and our numbers started dwindling. Steph and I were had the last flights, luckily i got to check in at 3 while she had to stay for her 8pm flight. =/ Anyway, the guy sitting next to me tried getting my number to meet up with my while I was in Rome, but I didnt know if I should trust his intentions. He had already annoyed me when I chose the inside seat and he crowded me by choosing the middle one... on a non empty flight. I ended up getting his number but probably wont call since I cant use my own computer here and hes a smoker. No me gusta.

Oh btw, new country, new keyboard! The @ sign was hard to find and Im not even gonna try to find the apostrophe-- hence the lack of use in this entry. The hostel Im staying at isnt like a normal one.. I think, its more of a camp ground with some dorm rooms. The staff is really nice and I already scored a free drink so Im not complaining yet.

Liking Rome so far.. its very economic friendly with the metros and shuttles. Hopefully it wont be too late to sign up for a bike tour tomorrow and ill see from there what else Roma has to offer.
