BYU Study Abroad in Rome & Greece, Summer Term 2009
Gary and Carson left Salt Lake City at 3:00 pm on Monday July 6 and arrived in Rome 19 hours later (Tuesday evening Rome time). Unfortunately, Gary's luggage didn't arrive with him. Some of the students had the same problem, but I suppose with this many people it's bound to happen (40 students, 2 faculty plus family members).
First thing Wednesday morning they were able to attend a general audience with the pope. It was a ticketed event, so they were expecting the size of maybe a stake conference, but were surprised to find themselves numbered among about 10,000 other people. (They will have to post about the experience since they were there and I wasn't.) On the bright side, Gary's luggage arrived, the A/C works in the apartment, and they've already had pizza and gelato.

Good news all around: the A/C is working in Rome and Gary receiving his luggage.
ReplyDeleteMmm, pizza, gelato, audience with the pope. Sounds so Italian and it's only the first day. I'm so glad you all get to have this experience. I look forward to reading about it!
ReplyDeleteHurray, AnneMarie! This will be very fun experiencing Italy vicariously! Thanks! G
