Jet Lag

I feel like I haven't slept in 78 hours - which is not quite true but OH I could use some sleep right now! It's hard to enjoy my new surroundings when I can't sit down without my eyes glazing over... But hey, if I make it a few more hours I can get some precious, precious sleep!!

That said, somehow I made it off the airplane, got my luggage, and found Kelly and Elizabeth (her youngest daughter). Then we drove from Rome to Grosseto, where I have been the past six hours or so. I met the whole family at their condo, and then took a nap only to wake up even more tired than before. Why is that, that sleep only served to make me more tired? At this point I am missing everyone back home very very much, but I'm sure that I will get busier and more excited later in the week when my brain allows me to think clearly. For now I will muddle through the best that I can. Grosseto is beautiful but a lot bigger than I thought. Tonight we are probably going to walk around the center of the city, and than I will see a little more. Until then - be glad you got a good night's sleep!
