I'm really missing home....

Of course, I'm loving Rome, excited about going to Napoli next week, and have plans to go to Sicily over Thanksgiving break. 

It'd just be nice if my family would call.  Or send mail.  Or really, if people would just keep in contact better.  But people are busy, of course.  And there's the whole problem with time zones.  And, I think my family wants me to be independent and learn to be happy on my own.  It's just that my roomie gets mail from someone almost every week, and a call from home almost every day.  Maybe my family just thinks that I don't want to talk.  Maybe they don't want me to miss out on life here by being obsessed with what I'm missing at home.  I don't know....
