WOW thats all I can say...part 1

IM FINALLY HERE!!! it took forever but im here :) so on sunday i flew out of dallas at 12:55 got in to chicago a little after 3. i didnt have to wait long untill kalya and Danielle showed up. there flight got in a little early. we waited for a while before our flight left for rome!!! now comes then unfun part. the flight was 8 hours and it was the three of us sitting in the 2nd to last row. we had absolutly no leg room what so ever. then the inflight movies didnt work and they didnt work in just economy plus and economy...we were really bummed because they were showing letters to juliet and we really wanted to get psyched for italy. the food was ok it was either chicken and rice or pasta.. i went with the pasta because i wasnt sure what the chicken was going to be like. after that we tried... and i mean really tried to sleep. i maybe got 1 1/2 max the whole 8 hours. after that disaterous flight we buy our tickets to the roma termin and from the roma termini to florence. both trains cost 58 euros in total.. so it wasnt that bad. the first train was 30 and it was cramped so we stood. i almost flew into the door and kayla almost fell into the toilet. after that we got lost in the rome termini! our ticket said 12:15 to florence but on the call board there was only a 12:45 we found out that we had to take the train to milan and get off at florence. NEVER TAKE 2 SUITCASES WHILE TRAVELING IN EUROPE! one has to lift 50lbs bags up stairs... it is not fun and my muscles paid sorely from it. that train was 1 hr and 50 mins long and we stood the whole time. we couldnt fit our big suitcases anywhere or down the aisles and we didnt want to leave them so it ended up being a super long ride. once we were in florence we tried to find a place where we could get our tickets to germany, but we had no idea where to go and what to ask for since the tickets that we were looking at came from the DB Bahn train. next came one of the longest 2 hours of my life...we practically walked all around the train station looking for bus #10...after asking 3 different people and getting 3 different directions, we stopped for water in mcdonalds and decided to take a taxi. we split a 29,60 cab ride between the 3 of us. once we got to the villa we showered and got ready for dinner in the village. we got there a little early for dinner so we walked around. i had raviolis, but my nonis home made ones are better. after that we came back and passed out... i got a good 12 hours... :) part 2 will be upo tomorrow about all that i did on day 2
