Translation of röntgen

In this email I would like to tell you what occured to me in Italy during the summer vacation last year. So, I went to Italy for four days. First I stayed in Firenze, than I decided to go to Rome.
How could I get better in Spanish if I had to eat by myself. Impossible. The next days we always ate together and sat around the table for hours discussing politics and the lives we were living.
We had to be careful of not falling into the water. We rowed for about an hour and we got tired pretty easily. Especially the other man and woman looked devastated, at the limit of their physical capabilities.
