!Yo Diggity!

Well Sasha was my first visitor AND it was her first visit overseas. I was so very very excited to see that girl!! Made me really miss her… and all y’all… that is for sure!! Was really cool to have a close friend get to see and actually experience my new living situation. It made me realize that things really are a bit odd over here….

Even the small things are a little strange. Eggs, for example. They do not refrigerate their eggs here. You go to the store and you buy them off the shelf. Not sure if that has anything to do with why the yolks are sooooo yellow? Don’t know.

Efficiency is different here. We flew on Whizzair to Rome. Cheap airline - sweet for savin’ money, but funny thing was that when we got to the gate there were like a million people all gathered around the glass to get to the runway. Wel… we weren’t going to get into that mess… and then we realized. First come, first serve… on a full plane!! So we did want to sit together so we joined the masses. We fought and scratched our way to the front… only to find that we fought for the line to the BUS which would take us to the plane. From there, the doors opened up and it was a complete RACE to see who got in line first. We we apparently not very good at that piece. haha

And everything is smaller here… WAY smaller than ANYTHING in Texas!!

The cars….

You’d think that there are a lot of midgets that live here… but they don’t (Kevin, please don’t be scared). These are average cars!!

And the bathrooms… wow. There was literally a hole in the floor which they jammed a winding staircase in. Sheesh!

“Weird that it’s just Sasha in all the pictures, Jessie?!” - I know this is what you are saying… but it’s true… I was there too… and man I am gettin’ to be stranger and stranger… just like Europe!!

JUST KIDDING!!! ) I’m still normal…..

I know I’ve been so slow to post lately… sorry about that! I’ve been gettin’ ready for my trip home! Can’t wait to see everyone! I leave here on Wednesday morning…. give me a hollar if you want to meet up! I’ll be in IN for 2 weeks and H-town for the last week of the year… hope to see ALL OF YOU!
