Smile and Wave

She decided we would get up at 9:30am.

I think okay, whatever. We need to see a lot today so I'll take the l. Cool.

I wake up at 9:45am. I set my alarm for am instead of pm - a common mistake I think.  I get downstairs to meet the rest of my travelers and she glared at me.

"Sorry guys, I set my alarm for the wrong time, am instead of pm." Everyone said that it was fine, instead of her.  I'm thinking we are only leaving a half hour later, who really cares, and who put you in charge. Deal. We still got to see Vatican City and the Pantheon during our 7 hour walk.

I missed breakfast.

The next day the plan was to leave at 11:00am. I set my alarm for 9:30am. I hear it this time but turn it off because everyone else is still sleeping, assuming that their alarms would wake me up later. Fail. I woke up at 10:45am and was downstairs by 11:08am. Everyone was there and ready. She glared at me again, so I smiled. No return.

I missed breakfast again.

We get to the Coliseum and are just walking around aimlessly. Now the Coliseum is where I really wanted to go. She had the map and was the self-proclaimed tour guide. With such distinction, I ask her "Hey, where are we going?" She glared at me and said, "I don't know, Dahlia."

Oh you don't know do you? Yes you do. Yes, you do.
