The End to an Italian Adventure

---

And we end our trip back in Rome which became our home away from home. The bustle and craziness of Roman life that was once overwhelming, stressful and completely unfamiliar became comforting. I think we will return one day and find ourselves feeling a bit more like a strong, confident statue mounted on the top of one of the building here rather than the small insect dodging feet traffic and manuever through the cobblestone streets.

In result of our Italian adventure we have found ourselves appreciating so many little events of everyday American life. Events that we either did not even notice before or simply just took advantage of. A large one being that majority of people (if not everyone) speaks English here! A small detail that has the ability to make things that are very simple, impossible. Being the foodies that we are, we appreciate every meal out as a relaxing and enjoyable experience where we can order without any confusion. We expeienced the opposite where you are feeling uncertain and uncomfortable and constantly stifling the urge to search the guide book for vocab and reassurance. However, I must say by the last coupe of meals you might have mistaken us for native Italians, well maybe not quite that good.

We will miss the gelato, the lifestyle, lemoncello, vino, espresso, traveling with no obligations, and of course all the delicious food. We truely ate our way through Italy!

So for now we say farewell (Ciao!) but only until next time, because we will be back to experience everything we missed and everything we loved all over again!
