My European adventure has come to an end! It has been a bittersweet goodbye, as Florence had become a home for many of us, but there is nothing else like coming home to family, friends and Christmas time. Don't worry though...I have no doubt in my mind that I will someday return again.
I think that it is necessary to give credit where credit is due, for this trip would not have happened without the help of several people. First, if it wasn't for my parents I would have had no means of even getting a plane ticket to anywhere! Second, I must tell you that if it weren't for my Nana, I would have had no desire at all to go to Italia. She was the one who would tell me things about Italy and where we came from. I will never forget her describing to me the leaning tower of Pisa or telling me stories about how her parents (who were first cousins!) came over from Sicily. I even made her sit down one day and tell me everything she knew about our family genealogy.
Whether or not my desire to learn more about Italian culture is an innate one or something that simply grew out of the experiences I have had throughout my life, it has become more than simply a desire now. It has become my passion (dare I say obsession?) and I will forever hold on to it deep within my heart.
