It was hard to concentrate, but some of my first thoughts while riding in a taxi from the airport outside the city to our apartment include:
*Lots of oleander bushes in bloom. I remember these from my childhood in Arizona, but these are much bigger and have LOTS more flowers.
*I wasn’t expecting to see palm trees, but there are some here.
*Hay fields full of bales ready to be loaded up—just like at home. Except outside of Rome the fields aren’t flat, they are more rolling, like in the Midwest.
*All the cars are really small. Even the delivery trucks are smaller than American ones. After a few days I’ve still only seen a couple of cars that look like the size we have at home. Carson said he did see a Hummer before I got here, but even that was an H3.
*Humidity!
