Rome, 13:14 (local time)
We finally left, now no more people passing by that ask us "you still here? weren't you in Australia or something?". The packing business was tough, but it's finally over. It sounds easy but I'd like to see you trying to stuff both clothes for the freezing winter of Chicago and the sunny beaches of the Pacific in one bag that has to be both light and well organised. By the way, we failed.
Well we haven't gone too far yet, we're still in Rome, waiting for the time to leave and go to the airport to wait for the plane, where we can sit and wait until we arrive. The real merda ai cculo (excitment) isn't here yet, we're expecting it to come around tonight, when we will be arriving in the apple town.
Eh sí, in inglese, come vi mette?? cosí per la prima volta noi si viaggia nei paesi anglofoni e VOI imparate l'inglese! no scherzo, é perché cosí lo possono leggere molte piú persone...you're welcome to post comments...
le foto arriveranno quando avremo una macchina fotografica, ovvero quando si compra, ovvero forse tra un pao di mesi.(yvonne dice... ma ven via, fra due giorni si avra!!!!! state tranquilli, lo convincero, con le buone o le cattive!!!!!)

We arrived at rome (4 hours late as we missed the first train... the one we woke up at 6am to catch!!!!!!!) very refreshed and happy with our super light backpackes on our backs and headed towards our friends house on lungotevere, where we found great hospitality and an amazing view over the whole of rome.
Beng the great tursts that we are we only stayed indoors long enough to say hello, then we left for a look at the vatican... leaving the house without an umbrella ("oh, it probably wont rain")... 5 minutes and it was pouring down, with millions of guys offering us umbrellas for 5 euros (we were very tempted, but there really isnt any more space in our luggage... unless we throw away our shoes or something)... anyway, the vatican was nice... we saw it very quickly from outside.
That evening we left the house planning to go see another roman friend (renato) at work (restaurant) and then go see a great reggae concert (alborosei)... we got on the bus and realised that we had forgotten to get money... so now we had 30 euros between us to: 1 pay for the bus and trains. 2. pay for dinner 3. go see this great concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what idots!!!! obviously we didnt get to go to the concert (I guess hunger comes first huh!!!) and in the end our great friend renato payed for most of our splendid meal, leaving us with enough money to get home.

Bon voyage, Yvonne & Pierro. I think this blog is a good idea. Maybe you should post your proposed but flexible itinerary on it. We look forward to seeing you in less than a week, just in time for Thanksgiving. Perhaps we will take you to visit nearby Plymouth,MA the sight of the first Thanksgiving.
check, check and check again
Ohhh, you're bloody useless, the pair of you!! How do you go about missing the first train of your trip?? Doesn't bode well does it? Or maybe you're just getting the disasters over with right at the beginning of the journey and then it'll be sugar n' spice and all things nice for the rest of the way. Keep safe the two of you and buy a camera soon!
Big kiss from big sis,
D.

hi hi
everything is fine here. we are at sophia's house, but we cant find a sim for the phone anywhere... we will keep looking but everyone seems to think it is impossible, that the only way is to buy a new phone with the sim in it.
We bought a really cool camera yesterday, canon 400 pro shot, or something like that, and just finished charging the battery so we sill start using it today.
love you all, sorry i cant send sms

Ohi, scusahemi ma in English i can't!
Mi raccomandi lavatevi i denti e i'buho di 'cculo prima d'andare a letto..
Non portatevi souvenir inciendiari quando salite a bordo di aerei e soprattutto non voltatevi mai indietro: non provateci nemmeno a dire oh San Casciano... Come sarà? No! Tanto che cazzo volete che cambi?
Pensate invece ai canguri, ai cohala, ai cannibali delle isole Figi e a quelli della City londinese... Non mangiate troppe patatine del McDonald e non prendetevela l'uno con l'altra! Se succede qualcosa usate il buon vecchio metodo della sbronza per superarla.. Se nel frattempo vinco un biglietto della lotteria o altro vi raggiungerei sicuramente, ma intanto Buttahevi VIA...!!!
Bezos y abrazos desde Madero

Yvonne that's not correct, you have to write in the blog, not in the comments! Next time I will denounce you at the Blog Authority.
Ohhh, ma in questo blogge non ci chiappo un'emerita pippa...ma forse adesso ce la faccio..
Siete proprio i soliti cotti..
Comunque se non si perde un po di treni e non si rimane senza soldi che cavolo di avventura è?
Fatevi le ossa ora, che quando arrivate in Austriala non penso che riusciate a trovare un Renato che vi presti qualche soldo...
Buona Nuova Yorke...Beati voi
La prossima la scrivo in italiano, è che ora non avevo tempo.
bona
