Wow. I can't believe I'm finally in Rome. I'm so excited. I didn't like Florence. Too many tourists, not enough Italians. Rome is amazing.

There are outdoor markets all over the place. I walk about 40 minutes from my hotel to school every weekday. It's a nice walk, although it is lo...

I made it to Florence. It is beautiful! I don't have time to update right now. But Italy is amazing!
