8~28

     It is 8 p.m. here in Rome.  I am now sitting in a room with all six of my apartment mates.  We all sit in our cozy little yellow living room with a glass of wine (some with an entire bottle) in hand.  We got to our apartment around 1 this afernoon and moved right in.  Our apartment has three rooms.  There are two 3-person rooms and one 1-person room.  There is also a kitchen, two bathrooms with showers, a balcony, and a foyer.  This place comes equipped with an ironing board, a washing machine, and towels.  I can already see myself calling this place a home.  The walls are all a warm tuscan yellow.  All the windows are decorated with nice floral or light green curtains.  The place is furnished with warm-colored wooden furniture and comfy couches. The floor is, again, the warm wooden floor.  Each room has some sort of artwork on the walls.  This place feels very homey and very classy.  It feels very....Italian :-)
