Im Alive!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I know you have probably been worried about me. Im fine. Im more than fine, I am having a blast in Rome. I love my group that Im with. The two guys are awesome, and all the girls are so much fun. I havent posted yet because the internet has been down in our hostel. Sorry. Right now it is a little after eight am. I got up early just to let you know that I was ok! The public wifi here is reeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy slow, but I have one hour per day use of the internet via the computers in the hostel. which means unfortunately M&D, no skype for now (no cam on the hostel computers). I will try and let you know somehow, but I dont know when I will be able to. I love you, I am learning so much and seeing so much. The food is beyond excellent, I might gain 50 lbs while im here, so be prepared. Just to give you a hint of what we are doing, yesterday we saw the collisium (and we were up touring rome for over 12 hours) and today we are seeing the vatican and some other stuff. Ok, I have gotta go meet my group. Love you all, dont worry Mom. Im really doing super duper awesome with a cherry on top. Ciao! -Israel :)
