l'appartamento.

Transitioning to life in our Roman apartment has been interesting. The lack of air conditioning has been challenging, but cooler weather should be here soon, and at least we have fans. I've also never used a gas stove before and am convinced I'm going to blow up the apartment. (Thanks, Dad.) So far, so good though. I even made lunch/brunch/dunch today. No explosions as of yet. Also no salt as of yet, so the eggs were a little bland. Every market we've seen so far has charged at least €1.50 for a tiny container of salt. I don't get it. The Mediterranean is like five feet away and that sea is super salty. Anyway, we're holding out for cheaper spices.

The living room with a giant table.

Our cute little kitchen. We also have a fridge and microwave on the other side. 

Alex's and my bedroom. 

The cork board over my bed. To be improved over the course of the semester.

Overall, our apartment is nice. It's much nicer than I expected, to be honest. We have a living room,  a kitchen, two bathrooms, and three bedrooms, and a balcony. It gets pretty noisy with traffic (Roman drivers love their horns), but living on a college campus for two years means I can sleep through almost anything.
