Well, it’s May, ladies and gentlemen (at least in this country it is). And as of today I have two months and seven days left of my Italian Adventure. The bittersweet truth of this fact leads me to believe that I am one of the most blessed people this world has ever known. I am blessed because I have had the opportunity to explore a new country and discover new parts of myself in the process. I have been immersed in a language and a culture that is completely different from my own, and yet somehow have managed to make it my own. I’ve met people who have become friends, traveling companions, drinking buddies, kindred spirits and soul mates. True, I have met people that I hope to never meet again (ie. creepy man in the bar who followed me around, homeless person who tried to attack me and cranky lady at the grocery store) but they are few and far between. I am blessed because no matter where my traveling wings or my dancing feet may take me, I have loved ones who will always welcome me home again. Finally, I still have two more months (and seven days) to soak up what I can from this experience and carry it onwards with me to my next excellent adventure – Grad School in NYC.
I am taking the road less traveled and dancing upon it. Isn’t it grand?
Pace, Amore and All Things Good,
Geni
