So I must appologize for not updating everyone in the past 3 days. Things have been a little hectic and crazy and fun at the same time. Tasha finally got her bag back after going to the airport in Rome on Sunday, getting angry at the people and some hard explaining. Unfortunately it took half of our day away, but it was well worth it because we were both beginning to run out of clothes. We were still able to do more sightseeing in Rome and got to see the Trevi Fountain and many other famous sights of Rome. It actually worked out really well because all of the sights and places to see werent as busy as they are in the morning. Tasha and I have met a lot of cool people at The BeeHive hotel. It looks even better in person than in the pictures that were online. It is owned by an American family and everyone that works there speaks English. There was even a 11 year old cat that lives there, Ingmar, who is the friendliest cat I have ever met. He is such a character, I never thought that cats could be so entertaining. We were definately sad to leave our friends at the Beehive, but we know that if we are ever to come back to Rome that is where we would stay because it is so nice and so is everyone that works there. The price is great too. On Monday morning, we woke up early and set off on foot for the Roma Termini (train and metro station) for our train to Ciampino for the airport. Our ride to the airport was pretty uneventful which was great. We flew on EasyJet which is a low cost airlines. It was quite funny because everything about this airline is orange from their signs to the crews uniforms. The crew was really nice and spoke many languages. The flight to Paris was quite turbulant, but we handled it pretty good. Once we arrived we had to wait about an hour for our friends from the international office at INT to find us. Finally Marie and Michelle found us and led us to Michelles car. She has a cute little car that we packed ourselves and luggage into. We had plenty room to stretch and be comfortable, it was surprising that our luggage fit in the trunk. It was really nice of them to pick us up at the airport because according to them we would have had to catch a train from the airport, then switch to another train on a different line, and then catch a bus, and then walk for 10 minutes to the campus. It worked out well because we got in a few hours before everyone else so we got a lot taken care of without a wait. Our rooms are pretty nice, although after being together for so long Tasha and I are having trouble being seperated and are wanting to always check up on each other. We get so bored being alone in our rooms. Well I suppose I have strained your eyes by now with all this writing, but I had to catch you up on what has been going on. We started our first day of class today, and needless to say neither tasha or myself passed the first test because we didnt even answer anything. It was all in French and we werent alone so we have been put in the Beginners French class.
