The Arrival!

We are here! The computer I have has a low internet connection and a stubborn space bar. I also need to keep my time short because the 23 of us are sharing one computer. (also...the keys are different and I cant find apostrophes so...sorry about the grammar). The flight was fine...I wont go into details. One girl with us turned 21 on the flight!

We live in a freaking castle. It is a deconsecrated convent. I am in the room with 8 beds. Our view looks like something from Under the Tuscan Sun. We went out last night to window shop and take a stroll. After an accidental detour, we ended up outside of the giant medieval wall and lost.

Today, we went to the grocery store. I got the essentials: shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, Barbie cups, a bottle of Pinot Grigio (for only €3). Now if only we had a bottle opener...
