Checking in from Italy!

Well, I made it to Italy.  What a flight!  I'll save that story for when I had a little bit more time - suffice to say there was a particularly ridiculous English bus trip, a near miss of the connecting flight, and finally, a bag handler strike in Rome that left my baggage lost for 2.5 hours!  Woo.

I can't get photos up at the moment, as I just have a little bit of time before I need to head down to the Forum.  But the welcome here has been fantastic, the people friendly, the accomodations are... a little 'cozy' (rustic?) but definitely manageable.  And the sights - awesome.  I'm having a ball so far.  Now I just need to find time to do some of the readings for this week.  Hopefully next time I can get my laptop connected to the wifi and give you a real update.
