After leaving O'Hare on Friday at 10AM, laying over in Detroit for 5 hours, taking a 7-hr flight to Amsterdam and then a 2-hour flight to Rome, we arrived about noon Saturday. We then met the Purdue people and boarded a bus to get to our hotel. Even though we were tired, we ventured out and saw some sights near the hotel.
