So it begins

WOW, What a day has been!!!! I can't believe that I am sitting here in Rome writing this to all of you. There to begin? I guess the best thing would be to start at the airport and work my way to the end. Well, I left Lynchburg at 10 in the morning Saturday and made our way to the airport. A little side note the wife of one of my favorite teachers at Liberty was the one who took us to the airport. After we go through security and everything we settled in for the long wait until we left the United States. It was cool as we waited I got the opportunity to talk to a young man who was on his way home from his senior trip. It was cool cause as we were talking it came up that I went to Liberty and he was a Christian as well. He told me that he knew something was different about our group. He knew that we were special. It was an encouragement to hear that we really are different than the rest of the people. I think it was God giving me the encouragement that I needed to hear. So after that conversation was done I waited around a bit longer. We finally boarded our plane and left the US around 6:30 at night. We then had a 7 hour flight ahead of us. All I can say about the flight is that I honestly don't remember much about the flight except when we landed. There was something wrong and the thing that normally would connect and you would just walk straight into the airport was broken so we had to walk down the stairs and then up the stirs again. At least we didn't start our trip off boring. We FINALLY got through security in London and once we did that we did not have much time to wait for our next flight. It was three hours fro London to Rome and it was an uneventful flight. I can say that I was TIRED when we landed. We got tot eh convent that we are staying at and had time to get things together and then eat. After we ate we had a brief tour of the place and then we went out and explored where we would be living for the next month. WOW, it was really cool. There were so many things that it was like I now this, or I have study this. It was neat to walk the streets were so much history has taken place. So, that really was the first day. There is so much more but I am so tired and I honestly can't remember much of  it. hahah, I love it here and I can't wait to be able to come back and be able to live here. I hope that you guys are good and I will see some of you when I get back.
