WE'RE SAFE AND SOUND.....
Although we were only 2 stops away at the time of the subway train crash in Rome which injured 100 and killed 2 and counting, we were completly oblivious to the action this morning and (thank jesus) we are now safe and sound in our snug little hostel room in Rimini, Italy. We thought it best to make this post as soon as possible after hearing the news, as we know it travels fast and thankfully it's still early out there at home, so none of you have to worry too much:)
At the exact time of the crash, (which you can all read about on BBC if you wish) 9 am, we were on the subway, rushing our way to the main Train terminal in Rome, where we were schedualed to depart at 9:30 for Bolonga. The crash happened one stop away from the Train terminal, thankfully our train was coming in from SW and the trains which crashed into eachother were coming from SE. We were eerily close and all looked in amazement at the map this evening as we realized our proximity. So don't worry mom's, obviously, thankfully, we are in good hands:)
miss you all, love
Kait, Chelsea, Jord, Jonny, and Jeanette.

I saw that on TV this morning and I was wondering how close you guys would have been. I knew you would be traveling today so I was a little worried, but it is nice to know you are still alive. Anyways, enjoy your trip. Keep on with the updates.
