Day 2

We finally arrive in France and even though it was only the airport, I can officially say I’ve been to France. I have always wanted to go to France ever since high school and I finally had the opportunity although it was for two hours or what I thought was two hours. It took me a minute to realize that we are not in American time anymore and had to set my watch a few hours earlier, making the wait feel longer. As 2:05 approached, we were ready to finally set foot in Italy. The plane from France to Rome wasn’t to bad so I have nothing to complain about. I was sleeping calmly when I heard the tires on the plane skidding on the road to secure landing. With that waking me up I realized we are now in Italy. We got off the plane and were accompanied by our tour guide, Tyson. With doing so, it was dinnertime and I cannot tell you how exited I was to have my first Italian meal. We get to the restaurant and waited to be seated. I couldn’t help but think how different the food would be in Italy versus America. Before we got are food, we were offered the choice of red or white wine. Now this isn’t the first time I had wine, but it was the first time I was actually offered and that was an offer I did not refuse. When in doubt, I’ll try both, we are in a different country and its time to try new things. I tasted my first sip and I was not disappointed. I had a feeling that from now till the rest of the time in Italy I was going to enjoy each meal. The meal comes and it mainly consisted of Prosciutto and lasagna made man was it good. Finally it was time to head back to the hotel and relax for the remainder of the night because I can just see we had a long day coming.
