Things I'm Going to Miss

     I have been here for 2 months. Two very long, eventful, fun, crazy months. It feels strange to be leaving this place. But I am ready for it. I am ready to go spend some time with my family and with my best friends. And finally ready to go home and get back into the school/work mode and get ready to graduate. I am SO SO ready to graduate. But I digress. I am going to miss this place. I am going to miss:


1. The people. I have met some pretty fantastic people here and formed friendships that I will do everything in my power to continue. You can't just spend 2 months with someone and then not talk to them ever again. We have already talked about reunions even if they're more than a year off. The friends I have made here have been sort of a temporary family for me. I mentioned that in a previous post. We have to treat each other like family. We lean on each other. And I'm going to miss them so much. It's going to be so so strange to not be able to see them every day.

2. Walking EVERYWHERE. Oh I am going to miss this part so much. I'm sure that if I actually lived here long term I would get some form of transportation because I'm sure I would have to go outside the city every once in a while but sheesh it's been so nice not having to worry about a car here. Don't get me wrong I miss my car and driving but ahh you just can't walk around San Jose and Campbell like this. I mean you can in downtown but it's not really as enjoyable as it is here. 

3. Seeing the Duomo everyday. And the Piazza della Republica. And every other fantastic monument here. It's just so much of a blessing to be able to call this place home and say "yeah meet me at the Doors of Paradise in an hour, k?" I mean, seriously...that's just awesome. 

4. The food. I love the food here, even if my appetite was cut in half when I got here (I don't know why but I'm not complaining). The food is just so so much better here than it is in America. Not processed at all. Just fresh and delicious. I don't think I'll be able to eat pizza in the states ever again. Well I know I will but I'm not going to enjoy it nearly as much. 

I'm sure there is a ton more that I am going to miss...I just can't think of anything specific. I am going to miss Florence. As a whole. The people, the food, the views, the nightlife (ooh the nightlife..it's a love/hate feeling there), just everything. Amo Firenze.
