Well, I just arrived in Rome. I am exhausted. I don't sleep on planes.
The airline split my suitcase open. The fact that I made it to the hotel, especially considering the taxi driver's driving!, without strewing my underwear all over the airport, the Roma Termini, the streets of Rome, or the hotel lobby is nothing short of a miracle. The suitcase is ruined and will have to be replaced tomorrow.
I'm staying in a glorious hotel about a block from the Pantheon. I caught a glimpse of the Pantheon before the driver hit his brakes hard to avoid killing about 20 pedestrians. [UPDATE: Glimpse nothing! I can see the Pantheon across the street!!] I'm sitting here in the lobby blogging, checking email, and wishing my room were ready so I could catch a short nap and then go take pictures.
This is the only day I will be in Rome without rain in the forecast. It's supposed to be overcast now, but is very sunny (and actually hot). Maybe I will be lucky!
For all who care: I am now up to date on the TV series Lost. [Think iPod + long plane ride!] What is going on?!
