Traveling

Ciao, Day 1. Well we made it safetly to Italy. We couldn't have asked for better traveling, the plane rides were smooth and all on time, every one had everything they needed, no luggage was lost and the whole trip was easy. After getting up at 3 AM we flew out of Sea-tac at 7:15 and landed safetly at Dulles in D.C. at about 3:30, after a brief layover we took off from Dulles at 5:30 bound for Munich, arriving there shortly before 8 AM on the 18th, we departed then from Munich at 9 and landed safetly in Florence at 10:00 after collecting our luggage we met the lead stint team member at the airport and went and got lunch. We then hopped on a Bus and made it safetly in Italy. we are staying at a hostel, and the two guys who run it Domingo and Emanuele are hilarious and very helpful they are such great guys. I don't think it has quite set in but I am in Italy. I was going to write this last night but I fell asleep at 7 pm and didn't wake up until 9 AM the following day. So I am posting this a little bit late. We walked around the city for a little while last evening scoping out good places to eat, and the Compo, which is a place where every one gathers. The city is amazing, it really is something out of the movies, and it's unbelieveable. It is so old and historic but at the same time so modern. I am excited to continue to explore, and really meet the people and get to know the culture of Siena! I will continue to keep you posted, hopefully every day.

Wow! I can't believe you are in Italy! You probably can't either. It must be awesome to know you are in the birthplace of the Renaisance. I know you will take lots of pictures. My Prayers are with you as you go forward in the name of Christ
