May 28-29 Off to Rome! Tuesday


Being theworkaholic that I am, this trip has had a great start for me. No papers tograde, lessons to make, interventions to keep track of, just time off to relaxand take plenty of naps along the way. Although I do wish I had planned for themoments I wouldn't be taking a nap. I should have downloaded a couple of moviesand books and brought along some headphones as well.   
Jamie,I have one more first to add to my list. Today was the first time I saw arainbow up close, simply beautiful!



I don'tthink I've mentioned before but I used to sing every Sunday in mass and atother church activities. The great thing about singing in church is peoplefocus more on the lyrics than in any actual talent, for the most part. It's beennice singing way up high "closer to all the angels" during this trip. 
One morehour to Rome! This last plane made the last and longest checkpoint moreenjoyable. For starters, we have free movies and we had a lot more space tomove around. Arlene and I wanted to see the ocean, or so we thought. That left Patrickwith four seats all to himself. After he woke up from his nap and after Irealized there would be no ocean seeing, I took my own nap stretched out onthree seats. It felt so amazingly great to fall asleep lying down instead ofsitting. I don't know how I would have survived without such a privilege. 


And we made it! Finally at Rome feeling nothingbut excitement.
