The character that we know as Jiminy Cricket only lasts for about three pages! How sad!
Well, the blogging has been slow lately because we have had a poor internet connection and the work has started to pile on, but here I am again. Other than my routine classes, the thing that has been taking up the most of my time is planning trips! Danya and I are officially going on two trips together. The first to Bratislava with our friends Margaret and Hilary. Margaret's God family lives there so we will stay with them and just hop over to Vienna for a day. The second trip is to Morocco! Danya and I booked our tickets from the 23rd to the 31st of October during our break and we are very excited. Two of our other friends may decide to join us, but so far the plan goes as follows: we fly into Casablanca and immediately take a short train ride to Rabat. Our friend Shakira is currently studying abroad there so we will hang out with her for the weekend and hopefully learn a thing or two from her about how to make the most of our trip. Then we will head up to this small town in Northern Morocco called Chefchaouen for two nights. The town has a great reputation for being a beautiful tourist friendly spot in the mountains where they speak a lot of Spanish as well as Arabic. Danya speaks spanish and we both really wanted to see more of the country so we figured this would be a great stop. From there we will head to Fez for about three nights, then back to Casablanca for one night and then head home. We have hotels and hostles picked out and tomorrow we will make arrangements with all of them, which is so exciting!
On top of those trips the we have so many smaller adventures to go on in Rome and in Italy in general. Between now and next weekend we have plans to go to the following sites: The Capitoline Museum, the Catacombs of San Sabastiano, the Jewish Museum, the Necropolis at St. Peters, the National Museum of Rome, and Centrale Montemartini. I am busy but having a blast, and very glad that it is almost the weekend.

Nora, Just read all your posts. Your writing is wonderful; I enjoyed all your trip details so much. Keep it up! I don't know if you know, but my mother's parents came to the U.S. from Slovakia, about two hours north of the capital of Bratislava. I hope you have a great visit there. If they ask you how you are, say "dobre," which means good! Love, Irene
