It’s official – I’m in love with my new life here in Rome! I did experience, however, a very strange adjustment process… My flight to Rome was so quick that when I landed at Fiumicino, it didn’t seem possible that I’d crossed an ocean. That, along with the few weeks that it took to get…
Month: October 2015
End of September
Almost a month now into Aix-en-Provence. The end of September and it’s time to write another 250 words. France has been treating me very well. Last I left you, I had visited Paris, Champagne, La Ciota, and Nice. I also spent a day on the beautiful beaches of St. Tropez where the water is so…

1 Month Down!! It’s fly by so fast :)
The day is Thursday, September 24th 2015, and today marks the completion of my first full month in Italy. It is crazy to think that I have been away from home for an entire month in a country where I don’t speak the language, nor have any idea about its history. Fortunately, I am not…
