Greetings good friends. We have had a super successful first day! After a 7 hour layover in Minneapolis, everything went smoothly and our students, although tired, are doing well. All students are accounted for, and have all their limbs. Pray for the last leg of our trip and that all our luggage arrives in one piece.![Rome Post 1](https://rome.umary.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Rome%20Post%201.jpg?width=720&height=540&name=Rome%20Post%201.jpg)
