We made it

Hey Everyone!! I made it!! It took 24 hours of traveling to get to our hotel, it was one heck of a ordeal to get over here. But it is so great to be here in Rome. This city is classic and beautiful. Just driving through to our hotel we were awed with the beauty of
the buildings, very antigue looking, and how green it is. I feel like the city is rich with culture. Classic cobblestone streets and everything. All that I have seen of Rome was from our taxi window, tomorrow we are going to the Trevi Fountain and the pantheon.
Only problem is our hotel charges a ton for wireless access internet, so Im going to have to find some cafe hotspot nearby that I can use at night or in the mornings. It was a very long trip here, one thing after another. We thought they lost our luggage that took a couple hours to figure out ( we found it), then we couldnt find Emily, that took an hour, then we were waiting for our hotel to come pick us up for over an hour, and they never showed up, so we had to bargain for a good taxi rate with different drivers (they all were trying to take advantage of us because we look like dumb americans) but we found a guy to take us for 70 euros, which was the cheapest offer, bites. Then we got here and slept for 7 hours. Im just a little overwhelmed but when we were driving through the city it was beautiful. Just like the classic Italy I imagined, I love it.
My friends are pretty high maintenance, they just cant deal with things going wrong, they expected some type of grand entrance into Italy I guess. I am going to start a no complaining rule. I wish I could travel with my family! I dont have much to tell today, just want to let you know I arrived safely. I love you all, chow.
