A Difficult Night's Sleep


Trip to Italy - Journal Entry #3 - September 20, 2009 - 9:00 am

A word about snoring: Torture!

I am in the company of two world-class snorers! We turned in early last night. Chris nodded off within minutes, and Dad was right behind him. I worked on my journal for a while and then turned off the lights. I, too, fell asleep quickly.

I don't know when I woke up, but I did -- some time in the middle of the night. Christopher was snoring like crazy! It was so loud. I nudged him a few times, but he usually started up again within seconds. He kept it up for about 30 minutes. I was so relieved when he finally stopped . . . and then I heard Dad in the next room start up! Unbelievable. I am book-ended by these unwitting noise machines. Happily, it did not last forever and I was, ultimately, able to get some sleep.

The picture here is of Chris and Dad walking back to our hotel after a long second day of touring in Rome.
