Every day here seems like a dream, a crazy dream where I have suddenly started to live in a post card. If I ever become disenchanted with this city it may be time to just put me down, I am clearly out of my mind. My feet have never been this sore from walking but at the same time I have never been this happy about my feet being sore!
We went to a reception tonight with all of the students from my school. It was a huge gathering of students from everywhere and some really good food. There were some beautiful gardens out back that we did some exploring in and a small little hedge that formed a little maze and I felt like I was five years old again (always a good sign). After my roommates and I left we stopped into a place that we were told was the best gelato in Italy and it was absolutely AMAZING! My father would hate this but I got coconut and pineapple :)
After the amazing gelato we went out to some bars and I was thrilled to have the chance to have some full conversations in Italian! I was amazed how easily it came to me. Any time I didn't know a word I would just ask if they knew it and they would teach it to me. Another sign I am clearly meant to live here.
I can tell that there are some things pulling at me to ruin my time here but I refuse to let the petty little things get in the way of a once and a life time opportunity. I love it here and I don't want to spend all of my time dwelling on things and people that really don't matter.
Love from Italia!
Natalie
