I am currently in my room in my flat in the historic district of Trastevere! Oh my Lord this is amazing!! I'm in a triple room in a flat that houses 8 people. We have 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a strange empty room that we have no idea what it's for.
All is well! My flight went swimmingly. I popped a sleeping pill and passed out. By the time I woke up we were about to fly over France. I also finished reading A Clash of Kings on the way so now I feel sufficiently epic. Stepping off the plane in Rome was very telling. No air conditioning and lots of humidity. I'm sweating so much it's kind of disgusting. At least the train from Fiumacino to Termini was air conditioned. After the train I caught a cab to Trastevere and spent about ten minutes looking for my residence. We're officially termed as a boarding house, not dorms, and thankfully we have a lift! It's one of the strange ones with the two sets of doors that you have to work manually, but it's all the more fun!
So I'm rooming with Eliza and Carmen and we're having way too much fun getting settled. I'll update more later!
Ciao!
