As the half way point in the trip came and went, I already don't like the though of leaving in only 10 days! It really is amazing here and I love it! With the sea being only 5 minutes away, being able to ski on mount Etna an hour or so away in the winter and the temperature not being over 100 degrees, I'd say it has a few more perks that Phoenix. Anyway, I didn't wake up until 12 today, then I didn't actually do anything until 2 and that was only lunch. For lunch we had breaded beef with the Italian version of French fries (triangular shaped chunks that were fried) both of which were delicious. Then Ciccio took off for his exam at around 3. While he was out I proceeded to play a videogame in Italian which is a lot harder and almost more fun than playing in English, take a nap, and watch a little English television for the first time. While it was only CNN, it was still nice to hear English. The Italian version of the DMV seems to be similar to the American DMV in that Ciccio didn't get home until 6:30 because he was sitting around for awhile. That basically is all I did today which made it a kind of boring day. Although I'm sure tomorrow and Sunday will be extremely packed with things to do as we are only in Rome for 2 days and have a lot to see and do! So I didn't really mind having a boring lazy day today. From my understanding Mack and his host family were suppose to be at the airport at 6am today (yesterday technically as it's 12:28am) and flight was suppose to leave soon after, however, his flight got canceled AGAIN then his backup flight at 3pm got delayed another hour I think, so long story short he finally got to Rome at 6:30pm. I think I've discovered who's luck caused our first flight to be canceled (Mack :P). Before I go, I almost forgot! I had the chance to video chat with Emmott over snapchat today, although the wifi isn't so good here it was still nice to see and talk to him! Alright that's all for today.
