Guarda il neve!

I wasn't expecting to see snow this year, let alone here in Rome! It is a very pleasant surprise not only because IT IS SNOW but also because John Cabot shut down early and my classes were canceled! Remember when I said earlier that the cobblestones are slippery when they are wet? Well in the snow, they are icy sheets of death. Its like being on an ice rink without ice skates. I bought rain boots today that have good traction, so I should be okay.  They are pink!!!!

Rome is very unequipped for snow, so everything has shut down almost completely (except for the boot store which is making a ton of money). I think we are going to stare in this weekend, instead of going  out. Florence can wait until it is sunny! We are going to book our trips this weekend, we have narrowed it down to two trips: Paris and London (through Rick Steves). We are also going to book the Venice trip through SAI and a few of the day trips that are through John Cabot. Very exciting!!!

Here are some pictures of the snow!
