We have been home from Italy for
two weeks now!
Wow!
It is hard to explain but I teeter-totter
between feeling like we were there just yesterday and feeling like we were
there a whole year ago. My memories feel distantly vivid. I think its because
there isn’t a lot in my daily life that reminds me of my experiences Italy. At
home the bread has salt in it, the check automatically comes at the end of the
meal, the streets are clean, and everything seems much more modern.
In contrast I have found myself missing
those things as well. On one of the first days in Italy our tour guide Lena
told us everything was the way it was for a specific purpose. The city was full
of history and meaning. Comparatively everything in the United States is just
so new. Our nations history only goes back 200 years compared to Italy’s which
goes back over 2000 years. This trip was great to compare the benefits and see
the disadvantages of such an historic country. I can’t wait to go back one day!
Arrivederci

On our last and only day in Rome we did an express tour and saw all the sites we could in an afternoon!
We saw the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. It was awesome!
