Never been.... but now it's my home.

Well, here I am. And here I'll live for the next few months: The Eternal City.

I am half unpacked, and exhaustion is hitting me hard after not being able to sleep on the plane. But I can't sleep yet! Must avoid jetlag.

Tomorrow is Orientation Day. I've had quite an orientation already in terms of weather (high of 60F -- it's snowing back at home), traffic, friendly people, and narrow streets. Observation of the day: if your car can fit, then you can drive it. Also, brakes seem to be a last resort kind of thing.

I'm excited! Here we go....
