Holy God it is hotter than Hell

Well I almost died of heatstroke in Rome today, it was around a hundred and this Alaska girl likes the beach and sun but that is too much for me! I saw the Colosseum and Roman Forum, the Vatican for the third time, the Papal tombs and Pop John Pauls burial place, which was neat since last time I was here, I saw his green, dead body layed out, and attended high mass in Latin in the Vatican! How cool is that! Couldnt understand a word but I figure God might love me more for going to mass in the Holy City...off to home tomorrow, and I am ready. I want to do laundry. I think I smell.

Revived from Europe

If anyone reads this or checks it, tell me so I dont waste my time. I have not posted since Jan 27th apparently, that is like 8 months, so I would not be surprised if I have NO ONE. I thought it would be appropriate to update my blog while in the city of its birth, Florence. I flew over here, well, to Venice, the 17th and 18th. Sage and I travelled to Croatia next and spent three days there. We then spent another day in Venice and on the train for 7 hours going to Vienna, Austria. We left Vienna last night, trained all night and I got to Florence today. I will be here for two days, it is Thursday at 130 right now and I will leave sometime Saturday to train to Rome, where I will sightsee til my flight home Monday. Sage left for school today so I am officially on my own travelling.
