I had to get up at 6am in order to get to the airport early enough before my flight. I woke up and got ready and Danielle walked me to the metro station. On the way when we passed the bakery I couldn't resist and stopped one last time. She dropped me off at the metro station and we said our goodbyes. She would be in Lincoln on Thursday so it wouldn't be long before I saw her again. At the metro station there were these other Americans who were really confuse...

We woke up around 8am and had to hurry to get ready because we wanted to go to the 9am church service at St. Petersburg and it was a good 15-minute walk from the apartment. I had slept through my alarm and would not be finishing it until later I guess. We made it on time after much hurrying. St. Petersburg was gorgeous on the outside, but even prettier on the inside. It was so beautiful but we had to go straight to mass first. We went to mass with Dani...

I got up at 9 and when we left it was almost 10. We took the metro to the Collosseum and when we walked outside the doors the Coliseum was right in front of us. I was so excited. The line to get in was super long but if we agreed to do this tour and paid a little extra we wouldn't have to wait as long so we went for it. I think the wait at the point when we go there was at an hour and a half. We waited 5 minutes before the tour started and got some interesti...

Today we got up early - 7.45am and got ready to go. We were going to leave at 8.30 and go to the market, but Dani needed to work on some Italian homework for class today so we didn't leave until 9 and skipped going to the market. We set off for the day. We had a full list of things to see and do before Danielle had class at 1.45. We started our day off at the 24-hour bakery. I got this croissant thing with whipped cream in one side of it and chocolate in the...

I got woken by Danielle at 11.45 but the night before she had told me we were getting up at 11. I ate some bread with marscapone and jam on it. That was pretty tasty. We sat in the kitchen talking for the longest time when we realized we had to hurry up and get ready because Danielle had class at 1.45. It took us about a half hour to walk to school. We could have taken the bus, but I didn't have a pass. We were going to get pizza at Danielle's favorite piz...
