I left Vacaville California at 11am on Friday. At 4:45, I flew out of San Fran Airport headed for Amsterdam. The flight was 11 hours, and I had a middle seat. I've been called a lot of things, but tiny is not one of them. I have to honestly say it was one of the most miserable things that has ever happened to me.

We got to Amsterdam at 11:30am Saturday morning. Our layover was 5 hours or so, and then a two hour flight to Rome and a 30 minutes train ride and 10 minute cab right later, I entered my hotel room after 25 hours and 48 minutes of travel time. I did not sleep during that time.

I went to bed last night at 1:30am, and when my watch alarm went off at 4:30am this morning, I wanted to kill myself. by 5am, I was at the Castel Sant' Angelo, which I posted earlier, and I haven't stopped yet.

I have slept a little more than 3 hours in three days, but there's just no time! There's so much to see here, to photograph.

this one is from earlier tonight. I was perched atop a wall, with a 40-50ft drop on one side, and a rickety powerbox on the other that I climbed up. I will continue to post as I go, so I don't run out of memory card space.

I'm also going to try to blog if I can.

I hope you all enjoy this photo.

Cheers from Rome!
