Snow in Roma

We heard back from Bus2Alps about our compensation for the nightmare trip home from Venice; we get back the full 100% of what we paid plus 10% off a future trip with Bus2Alps. It was an awful situation to be in but now that it's over, I can just look at it as a free trip to Venice!

It literally does not stop raining here. I don't know if that's normal or if if it's rainy season but it's so miserable! I find it hard to enjoy any place when it's cold and wet. I woke up this morning to SNOW on the ground. Apparently it hasn't snowed in Rome since the 1980's, and it decided to wait for me to come. There is not much more that I hate than the snow so I am not pleased! I guess it could be worse -- I could be home and buried under the many feet of snow.





Today, we have classes. Normally we have every Friday off but for some reason JCU believes in making up holidays. It's weird, but we don't have classes Easter Monday so we are making them up today. My first class is at 5:30 PM today and I wanted to go wander around Trastevere (since I haven't been able to do that in the rain) but of course it's a mixture of rain/hail/snow outside. Lovely.

On another note, I'm going to Barcelona next weekend to see Jenna, and I also booked a trip to Amsterdam for the weekend after that (February 26-28). I'm going with Heather and her friends and we're meeting up with Jenna and her friends there. My roommates planned Munich for the weekend that I'm in the Netherlands which I'm a little bummed that I'm missing but I might go there with Lindsey in April. We are looking at weekends for Paris and maybe one other trip. I really want to go to Budapest, but I'm not doing a good job convincing anyone to come with me.
