First Day - or is it second?



Thank you for all the prayers!!! Travel was incredibly easy. I don't believe it's ever been this easy getting to Italy. We were able to load and unload luggage from trains, planes, and buses relatively quickly! (of course, we're all a bit sore today as a result) We have arrived in our apartment.

Perhaps the funniest occurance yesterday was trying to stay awake. Don't attempt this while sitting on comfortable couches. Our team took turns waking up and then waking up others. We ate at one of my choice little restaurants for dinner - Il Caminetto -my choice because it was my birthday. We ate faster than anyone else there - and then again tried to stay awake for the bill. Then we headed to the best little gelato place in Salerno - Gerry's. I got my favorite strattietella and nutella flavors, and went back home after a little walk along the water.

Then we proceeded to sleep for 12 hours. That would be until 1:45pm local time. But man, did it feel good. Now we're working up to lunch and introducing the teammates who have never been to Salerno to the city.

Ciao for now!

Word of the day(s): doppotare - to go (ordering food to go)
generally food is 1/2 price if you order it to go!!
