Mom, This is the Longest Night EVER

We got to the hotel after taking a 40-minute shuttle van from the airport, in which one exhausted Josh left our laptop and, only through some miracle was it returned to us, which is the only reason I can write this now.

We got to our adorable and well-situated Hotel Des Artistes, checked in and spent the next 20 hours sleeping fitfully. We'd have slept less but the first time we felt awake and well enough to get out of the hotel, it was 11pm Rome time and while the bar across the street was in full swing, it felt like it would be funny to bring the kids out drinking so late.

Itzel spent the whole morning with a sick tummy but still somehow every time she throws up it remains a great surprise to us and her. We've decided to tuck in here for one more night while we attempt to get our bearings. For now we will continue to struggle to explain to the hotel staff things like how our son doesn't usually pee in the bed, only when he sleeps for 20 hours straight, and how no, its the sheets that have pee and the towels that have throw-up.
