FEEL THE RHYTHM OF THE EARTH, DANCE THE SONG OF LIFE!

This quote perfectly describes my past two 1/2 weeks. It has been exciting, inthralling, adventurous, blissful, and perfect. I feel like I could write a book. I dont really know where to start and i dont even really want to try to explain it because no one will ever really understand. but i will sum it up...First Rachel got into town and we spent a few days running around Rome and catching up, mostly we just talked talked talked. We went to London on Sunday...we decided to save a few euro so got flights from pisa to liverpool and were just going to get the trains in between rome and pisa and liverpool and london. we got a ticket for the fast train to Pisa, got on the SLOW train so instead of and hour 1/2 ride it was almost 4 hours...we get off in florence bc we have to change trains...our train got into florence at 12:51 we caught a 12:57 train to pisa (you have never seen to girls with luggage book it like we did) we got to pisa at 2:10 RAN to a taxi and got to the airport at 2:15 (as i was yelling at the driver to please please go really fast) we ran into the airport asked everyone if we could cut, got the the counter and begged the guy to let us get on the plane, he said no, we continued begging, (i was ready to cry if need be) but he picked up the phone and called and he was like "ok you can go but you better run" so we ran thru halls, up stairs, under ropes, got to the passport control and this time we just kind of let everyone know that we WERE cutting, we got our passports stamped and waved and blew kisses to the crowd of people in line. i think everyone knew us by know...jumped on the plane, got to liverpool, took a bus the the train station, took a train to London and when it was all said and done we saved ZERO money. we had a great and relaxing time in London. Our flight on the way home was cancelled so we had to stay another night but it wasn't that bad. we got back to rome and met the new room mates. they are really cool. One night me rachel and amanda went out and went to campo where we met Josh Duahmel from transformers and 6 degrees and he is Fergis fiance (one of the most beautiful people i have ever laid eyes on) and Veronica Marrs. Then we went to a Scottish pub where there were only really old people there but this one grandma was Cuttin a Rug!!! it was amazing we danced with her for a while and laughed until we cried. then we went to the irish pub down the road and it was closed because of a wedding (again) and since both of the bouncers know me they were like "okayyy you can go in if you get some one in there to say its ok" so we made friends with the m.o.b and she was like "yeaahhhh let them in!!" so we went in and there was karaoke. this little boy was up there singing a highschool musical song "what time is it? its summer time!" ...that song. and i asked if i could go up there and the guy was like "nooo?" but after a few min he asked to little boy if i could sing with him and he said yes so i sang and danced and most likely made a complete FOOL out of myself but it was soo much fun and the little boy ate it up. everyone in the crowd was just looking at us and not really singing along (prob bc it was Highschool Musical) but i yelled on the microphone "Come on Ireland!!" haha we laughed about that for a while.  later on his dad came up to me and told me thankyou over and over and said it really meant a lot to him bc his son was so scared to sing until i got up there and he said he would never forget it. he made me want to cry they were so sweet. later me and rach and amanda sang hotel california which was a beautiful ballad of course. 

The next day we went to the beach and it was a beautiful day. not a cloud in the sky. we just lounged all day long and yesterday i went to my first day of class and rachel left :( it was sad!! even all of my room mates were sad. we all got back from school and they were like...wheres rachel??

Last night was an adventure as well...we went to the Fabri Fibra concert and this outdoor festival. Fabri Fibra is a really really famous italian singer/rapper/guy and he's my favorite. so we went to the concert and there were tons of people there it was like a circus. the show was SO good and i was really excited when i could sing along with some of the words. we went over to the merch table to look at tshirts and hats and made friends with the guy who was selling them. we hung around there for a while and before we knew it he was leading us through the crowd behind the stage. he pushed us into this big tent and guess who was sitting in there...Fabri Fibra and his band...I was like??? "Heyyy Fabri...whats goin on? and how did i end up in here?" it was really really cool! we got to talk to them for a while and they were so nice. They brought this little kid in that was in a wheelchair to meet him and it was cute. after we left I still was in shock at what had just happened. I woke up this morning and I asked my room mate...did we meet Fabri Fibra last night? 

anyway, this is simply a taste of my past few weeks. I couldnt be happier or more thankful for all of my adventures and i cant believe i only have five more weeks left. it has been an absolute dream...
