ok.. so im so tired but im having a wonderful time! we went to the coolest church today- the church dedicated to st. clemente.. it is 3 levels of buildings.. they built a house first.. then a church.. then another church- and we went all the way down.. so cool.. we have a marvelous lunch at this cute little restaurant away from other tourists.. we had the afternoon off since we were all dragging along- the fact that it was crazy hot today didn't make it better. i should be used to this heat coming from texas but man its hot.. the best part was tonight.. we walked for about an hour to get there but we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe... it was in a ritzy neighborhood and being there was a little slice of america.. I had a gigantic chicken salad and i can honestly say i don't think i have ever had a better one.. it was so refreshing to have a little boost from a familar place.. oh PS.. they served ice with the drinks-- i straight up ate the ice alone! tomorrow we are going to the jewish ghetto and a few other churches.. and im sure we will make a gelato stop in the afternoon.. anyways im pretty tired but i will hopefully get on and write a little more tomorrow..im so blessed by this opportunity and i have always heard that it would be life changing,.. but it really is.. if i can be here and get around and survive i can do it anywhere! i am just learning more about myself and about people and i love seeing how we are all so different yet so much alike at the same time.. but anyway i hope all is well with you guys and im sending lots of amore from this side of the world!
