Charles' First Day of School

Monday marked the official end of our nearly 4-month hiatus from working (aka the real world). Charles was the first of us to set out into the working world of the average Roman citizen. He teaches English to business men and women at a company called INAIL (in Rome's only skyscraper), as well as to Air Force personnel (mostly important generals and stuff). The day went well until the long hike home through dumping sheets of rain (it ended up raining about 8 inches through the day and night).

Allie starts work next Monday at another company and for the Air Force as well. It looks like we'll be getting closer to 30 hours each once our schedules are completely finalized in mid-October.

Today we were in Rome center, so we stopped by our favorite "exotic food" store and grabbed some comfort food: FAJITAS!! We got some cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalepenos and all of the exotic Mexican treats you people take for granted!

And as a side note for the interested parties: Charles was the winner of our tennis match (and the next one we played on Sunday).
