Kolby's been in Rome for 2 days now. He is loving it! His biggest complaint is that there isn't big enough portions of food. He is starving! He's been able to use facebook a little bit every day so we've gotten to talk to him quite a bit. Facebook is our newest best friend! His flight out of Salt Lake went smooth then he got to New York, made it to the terminal got on the plane and it was delayed 2 hours! He didn't get to Rome until 4am our time! He was so tired! We have a friend from Italy who has a niece that lives in Rome, she was able to pick Kolby up from the airport which was awesome! Here is a little message from Kolb from his first day!
hey! i slept great! my bed was kinda small but still comfy and i was so tired from no sleep the night before. well chiara dropped me off and i found Ryan right away so that was nice. We went upstairs to our room and hung out for a while then took the shuttle into the city. its about 15 min away from the Colosseum and everything.. we got some food as soon as we got in. i don't really know what i ate but it was some flat bread with red sauce and cheese in it and it was delish. then we walked around for a while and saw a bunch of sights. i took a lot of pics of the newer buildings and the ruins. i don't really know what anything was called except for the Colosseum haha. its really nice here though. pretty humid but its only way hot in the sun. the shade is real nice. me and ryan both kinda wish we came a little later cuz we think were gonna be bored. finding food and doing everything is kinda stressful haha cuz we both eat a lot and Europeans don't. we got hooked up to go up into this club room upstairs at the hotel and were supposed to get free wifi so well see how that works! today i think were gonna go back into the city and see the Vatican and some other sights. should be fun! well i miss you guys and tell everyone hi! keep the emails coming and ill write whenever i can! love you!
This one was from today:
ya there are tons of tourists everywhere! we found lots more food today that is a lot cheaper and everything so far has been delicious.. i don't think we have run into any gypsies. lots of people speak English and are helpful. the servers at restaurants can speak a little but we have to stay to the basics haha. how was bikes for kids? what are you guys up to this week? ya we are gonna head up to bologna on the 9 and hang out there and maybe meet up with some other players. tomorrow i think were gonna do the tour of the Vatican and the tour of the Colosseum. i'm stoked! we accidentally took a 4 hour nap today haha it was really funny.. but we still saw a lot. my comp isn't working here for some reason so i will have to upload my pics somewhere else. ok well ill talk to ya soon! love ya
Hopefully we will be able get some pictures from him soon. He is having a lot of fun and getting a lot of exposure to different cultures which is awesome for him! We miss him but we are glad he is having a blast!! Tryouts start on the 10th hopefully I'll be able to post again soon!
