Sitting in the lounge, waiting for my connection from Rome to Catonia. It was a very easy flight across the ocean, as daylight emerged I could see the green hills, the sea, incredible buildings. It didn't look like NYC as I took off from Newark. I really liked seeing the Statue of Liberty as we took off. It is majestic. I slept, and read, and studied my Italian. People are gracious and I am enjoying the melody of this language. No pictures yet. I have to get myself settled in the Inn that I am staying at for two nights. It is only a few blocks from Serafina's home, but it is a way for me to rest, and to begin to negotiate on my own, and not feel so very dependent on Fina to speak for me. It will be different in Sicily, and especially in her neighborhood in Siracusa, people do not speak English. So here I go. First day in Italy! Ciao
