MADDIE:After flying for hours and hours, we're finally in Rome. Here is what's happened so far. On Monday morning we drove to the Dayton Airport. We hopped on a flight to Philly at about 1:30 in the afternoon. When we arrived at the Philly Airport, we walked around for a little while and then had dinner. At about 6:30, our flight left for Rome. It was an overnight flight, and no one got much sleep, but the amazing thing was that we had our own TV screens! We arrived in Rome this morning at about 10:30 and took a bus to our apartment. At about 1:00 pm today, one of my dad's former students who is a missionary in Rome, and his girlfriend came over. We went out to get pizza, and man was it good! Then, we all went to the Trevi Fountion. It was amazing! This evening my dad and I got some groceries and some pasta and gellato. The pasta was some of the best ever, and the gellato was dilicious too. Tomorrow we will probably go to the Vatican. So far, our trip is great!
MAX: Our flight over was long, but we had TV screens. After we got to the airport, we took a small bus to our apartment. The driver was funny. He sang "jingle bells". When we got to the apartment the owner was there and she showed us around. One of my dad's students, who is now a missionary in Rome met us and we went to some famous steps, called the Spanish Steps. There were some street performers and some people trying to sell us weird things. Then we went to the Trevi Fountain which is a famous fountain with winged horses, Neptune and some mermen. Back at our apartment my Dad and my sister, Maddie, brought us back dinner and some ice cream, which is called gellatto in Italy, for dessert. It was very good.
