We have arrived

The plane took off 30 minutes late, but never made up the time, so we arrived in Frankfurt late. The ride wasn't bad. Flight attendents were a little cranky, but it was a plane full of teenagers (45 just with us).

We changed planes in Frankfurt to fly into Rome. That was a little dicey since the landing involved a big bounce the passengers weren't counting on. Burgundy was fast asleep, one of the girls behind her gave a gusty scream, and Burgundy nearly had a heart attack.

One of the girls has already mislocated her passport. No idea of how or where. Guess we'll be working on that the next couple of days. My assignment is to go through her stuff again, just to be sure it isn't really there.

I have photos but I forgot to bring the cord connecting the camera to the computer. Rats. I'll try to do that tomorrow.

Went to St John's today, seat of the Bishop of Rome (aka the Pope when he is acting as Bishop). Went to the stairs that you kneel the whole way up because they are believed to be the stairs to Pontius Pilot with Jesus's blood on them. Probably have lots of other people's blood too at this point cause those stairs are a killer. Just eyeballed them this time.

Tonight we have dinner at the hotel and then walking to the Coloseum. I happen to be wearing very cute tennis shoes that I bought on Wednesday. Very cute although currently rubbing a hole into my left pinky toe.
