Last Day in Rome

6:56 PM August 11, 2011. Fuimicino Airport, Rome.

Got back from Salzburg yesterday via Berlin (yes, that is the other direction. Our flight connected to Berlin). Since we had a 6 hour layover, Chelsea and I explored Berlin for a little bit.
We went on a boat tour of the river Spree(the river that runs through Berlin). We also had sausages and a stein of beer.

Now, sitting at the airport waiting to check in. They are now telling us we can't check until 7:30 :/

I'm ready to leave Rome. I had a great time, but it's time to leave. Most people were nice, others were very rude, but that's how it is in most places.

I'm over the cobblestone streets that hurt your feet and make car/bus rides very bumpy. I don't want to look at pizza and pasta for a long time. I want rice that isn't arborio. Damn it, I want soy sauce that doesn't cost €6 for a little bottle.

Yes, it's time for something new. And I am so excited to he going back to England, even if it's just for a little bit. I feel like I'll be coming home (plus I can wear more clothes).

Yes, there is turmoil around England--Liverpool, Manchester and London. And I'm staying in London. However, the riots in London are in East London and I won't be going anywhere near there. I just need to excise more caution. Anyway, I can't wait to go back!
