Christine and Jim
An entry from Rome Holiday journal, by Amy Heaney
About them
What’s this person’s history and background?:
From Long Island just outside of New York. This was their first journey to Europe.
Describe this persons personality:
Both were absolutely delightful, very down to earth. Quite bubbly personalities. Smart people with curious personalities.
What happened
Where we first met:
Vatican tour, Vatican City.
What did we do and speak about?:
We went to dinner on my birthday, 15/03/14, and had a brilliant time. We totally lost track of what time it was. We spoke about the differences between Italy and our home towns, about our views on Rome, differences between the traffic back home and in Rome. Also, we talked about jobs and gambling, the mafia!
How did I feel while I spent time with this person?:
Excited. I was very pleased to have made new friends. I was proud of myself and curious about them both.
What did I learn from this person?:
The Mafia actually exist in New York. New York is also near enough exactly how it appears on TV. Neither England or America have a traffic system like Rome, where you just cross while you can!
The exchange rate for the $ to the Euro is pretty bad at the moment.
They are also going for 2 days to Florence and Venice.
What promises and agreements did we make?:
To have dinner, and we did! Also, to add Christine to Facebook.
