Throughout the course of the last 90 days I have done amazing things. Trips have been taken to Venice, Pisa, Florence, and the Maremma towns of Tuscany. Various exhibits in Rome have been visited, I have wandered random streets and gotten tragically lost, I have braved Rome's public transportation, eaten the best pizza ever, become regular at a cafe, mastered the art of cooking with my retro stove, and soaked up the history of the city I currently call home.
I am truly blessed to be able to go on amazing adventures like this with my awesome roomies in tow. Even more blessed to have shared this experience with my parents. It is hard to believe that this once far off dream of studying in Italy actually became a reality. Three months later I still have to give myself a pinch to remind me that this is real. I actually live in the eternal city.
Three of my four months in this amazing place have passed, and the last one shall not go to waste. There is still so much to see and do. We have trips planned to Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Prague. The month will be a whirlwind and my passport is going to get a serious workout, but I will enjoy every second of it.
The adventure spree commences tomorrow morning, bright and early, when I head off to Berlin with Erica. It will be a weekend filled with pretzels, sauerkraut, and schnitzel. There will probably not be any waterfalls with sharp pointy rocks at the bottom (Emperor's New Groove anyone?), but I still say "bring it on!"
