Our first stop, Rome. We are staying with our coaches girlfriend, Fiorella, or Flo for short, until it is time to make our way to Fondi. I wasn't really sure what to expect, spending a couple days with a new coach I did not know and can't always communicate with, but it has been such an awesome experience, and I can probably say I haven't stopped laughing since I've arrived in Rome. Davide and Fiorella are constantly teaching us Italian and Lynnea and I are constantly helping them out with their English, this has provided some very hilarious moments! I can say that I am happy I don't have to drive here, because although there are lanes on the road, cars and scooters don't really have to stay in them and can pass and cut each other off whenever they pretty much want. Lynnea and I have probably seen our lives flash before us a couple times, again providing us with laughs.
Today we walked around Rome with Fiorella and our coach Davide. They showed us the Colosseum (Colosseo), the Basilica di S. Marco and the Trevi Fountain. All of which were amazing sights to see!!!
These last couple of days Lynnea and I have been learning so many different, and random, words and phrases! From sono piena "i'm full," to the alphabet and numbers, to Vorrei "I would like"! But I must remember to pronounce my "r," "rrrrrrrrr" with a roll of my tongue!! This is going to be interesting and very very fun!
Italian word/phrase of the day: sono piena "i'm full"
thats all for today, enjoy a couple pictures of my time in Roma!!!
