5. Heat/ Humidity--it was wasn't bad at all the first week, but the past couple days the temperature has been climbing. Now our long Art History walks are significantly less enjoyable because I get so sweaty. It's not unbearable yet but I suspect it will only get hotter.
4. Bugs--our apartment hasn't been infested yet but many of the other students have complained of bug bites. With leaving the windows open all the time due to the aforementioned heat, it's only a matter of time before the vermin visit us as well.
3. Not speaking the language--Playing the part of the ignorant tourist isn't very fun. I'm sure the shopkeepers are just as frustrated with us as we are with our oh-so-limited vocabulary.
2. Homework--Mona and Lisa have heaped on the reading for these classes. It's pretty much all we do when we're not eating, sleeping, or exploring the city.
1. The street musicians in the Campo--they know 4 songs, and repeat them endlessly. You can bet we know them by heart now as well.
