Nothing like needing to be awake in 4 hours...

Four hours from this very minute I will be waking up (if in fact I decide to go to sleep) to get on a plane from Ciampino to Venezia (Venice)!! I'm so excited, I've always wanted to go on a gondola ride in Venice and I've heard the glass blowing there is amazing.

Tonight we went down to Piazza Navona and ate at a little restaurant and it reminds me of the Billy Joel song which has become our anthem of sorts. Then we wandered around the Piazza where they sell the fake Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Guess, Fendi, etc...bags...I bought a Prada bag for 20 euro and it's huge so it will help me transport souveneirs back to the States.

I come home in a week and that is crazy to me. I feel like I just got here and I really love Roma so much. AMO ROMA!! It's going to be sad to leave, we don't even like to talk about it. We've made friends and just have had a great time. I wouldn't have changed any of this for the world. It's been a heck of an experience.

As far as this blog goes, I think it's been a decent way of keeping you up to date on my life and happenings in Italia and hopefully you aren't upset with the lack of captions on my Webshots photos...slowly but surely they will get done, but I will probably finish when I am back in the States. I do a little bit everyday but I really don't want to spend too too much time on them with it being my last week here. Sunday will be a great opportunity to get some more pictures uploaded from this weekend and add some more captions, as we will be returning to Roma at around 10am.

Stay tuned for more!
Buono sera! Ciao!
