At the airport in Frankfort, Clemente told us that there were complications with our plans to go to Capri and that the weekend trip had been rescheduled for the midevil hilltop cty of Perugia. We won't deny that we were a little disappointed but in the end truly pleased! Perugia is a gem. An absolutely beautiful city built layer upon layer of itself! There was no scheduled tour and our time was spent touring adn enjoying the city and company of new friends. We met our Florence flatmats there adn hit it off with them, totally enjoyable people, Corey and Shauna. We had a couple laughs and glasses of good wine that brought on hilarious memories with everyone including Clemente! Our last night was a specail dinner where Kim and Clemente recgnized the graduating students, truly a pleassure to be here with them!
Stay tuned for Florence soon (complete with some pictures!)

ROMA!
We are both so sorry for our lack of writing on this blog but for our own defence:
1. we did not have access to computers in Rome or Perugia
2. These are the slowest computers ever!!!!!
So, this first entry is entitled ROMA which is an obvious give away to the fact that it will be about our time in rome. As everyone knows we took an overnight flight to rome with a stop over in Frankfurt, Germany. It was long but our plane was one of those new ones with tv's for every seat and the ability to pick what you want to watch.... awesome! food was kind of gross but what can you do!?!!
We arrived in Rome at about 6 pm and went to dinner at a great restaurant with Chad, Clemente, Noreen and Jasmin. We had amazing pasta and great wine before everyone (approx. 40 people) met up at the restaurant with us. Great way to start the trip.
Our hostel over looked a small part of the colloseum and it was nothing more than a hosel, but we got free breakfast and cappiccino. we love our cappaccinoes!
We worked our butts off seeing everything from the forum, to the Vatican, to inside the collosseum and St. Peters. We were totally sick of pizza by the end of our stay and about ready to head to our next location! But we still loved Rome. It is totally worth the hussel and bussel of the city!
