Homesick

It was good to get a message from you in Florence. How handy is the internet cafe there? How does the hotel compare to the one in Rome? How are the 2 girls you and jen are rooming with? I’m full of questions today. I hope the cold medicine helps. If you can tell me some times daily (on your time there) that you are likely to be in your room, I’ll give you a call in a day or two. That way you can save the minutes on your phone card. I will be putting some more money in your account on Monday. I expect your last paycheck will arrive in a day or two. You and I got our new checkcards in the mail today. That’s it from me. Love, Mom

Hi Sarah! It could be that they had cats at your last Hotel to control rodents. ??? Or maybe it is a cold. Have you been pinched? Homesick? This isn’t any different than being at school for two or three weeks without coming home. You are just in need of a little extra rest. As soon as the trip is nearing an end you will wish that it could last a week or two longer. Remember that most people can only dream of what you are doing. They would give just about anything to be in your place. I would! Keep taking pictures, in Italy for sure. I can’t wait to hear about your trip and see your pictures when you get back. Lots of Love and if possible pinch them back. DAD
