I am writing from an Internet shop -- we discovered that we do not have wireless access from our apartment. Our flight was delayed one hour because we had no pilot and a substitute was called. He or she managed to get the job done and we landed in Rome only a bit late. Giovanna and her daughter Cristina met us at the apartment and gave us a short orientation. It is not large and cooking will be a challenge. Tonight we managed to shut off our power just because I was using two burners and a small toaster oven while we had all the lights on. Though small, the apartment is divided into two floors. We have set up desks for the boys and managed to get in some schooling today as well as take a bus ride to help us get oriented. There are a few little shops nearby as well as a big supermarket, so buying necessities should not be a problem.
It is rather warm and was rainy today. Tomorrow we try to secure our permission to stay from the local police office.

You are all in my thoughts! I envision a new book developing for Sharon out of this experience...Glad you arrived safely. Will pray you manage in your cozy setting. Will the boys contribute to the blog too?
Sharon, I'm so glad to read your blog. I look forward to followoing your experiences while in Rome.
Life in Italy is an adventure and even simple things take longer than you think. Pazienza! It's worth the extra trouble.
