On the train

     As I write this I'm on the train from Florence to Naples. It's a little strange to think  that I'm done with Florence..for now. A friend was asking if I was going to come back up for next weekend and I said no, I'm done. No more so say your goodbyes. The goodbyes were tough but they were in mass quantities so they weren't as bad as I thought they would be. A lot of "I swear I'm going to come visit you!!" We'll see if that happens. In a perfect world, all of us would follow through on our promises to go visit each other. The fact of the matter is, we're all college students and by the time we start earning real money, we probably won't have the luxury of traveling all over. I want to visit everyone I've met here. Which would mean me hop-skipping all over the United States and going to England, India, South Africa, Israel and France. Now that would be a fun trip.      Last night was a perfect arrivederci to Florence. Nothing too crazy, just a simple dinner out with a few friends then wandering around for a bit and finally getting everyone together. The end of the night found us sitting at a table at Red Garter with the guys sharing a beer tower, plates of nachos and french fries in front of us. Yep, you read that right. But hey it wasn't my last night in Italy…I'll eat Italian food my last night here. But at that table was everyone I had spent the most time with and it was perfect. I wish a lot more people could have been there but they've all left already. August in Florence is depressing as a student. Everyone's gone home already. Oh well I had fun. Walked home with Ali, Lizi and Yai because Yai left at 4 a.m. Craziness. She's going to Puerto Rico to visit her family for a month then it's back to Georgia for school. Hopefully we'll meet again. I would love to visit Savannah. I've heard it's beautiful.      Ali, Jez and Dylan ran (literally ran) to the station right as I was getting on to say goodbye. Ali said "See you in December" and the boys just said I better come back. I love those three. Oh I don't know what I would have done without them. Especially Ali. We started talking like each other about 3 weeks ago. I spent nearly every single day of the last 2 months with Ali and Yai. It's so strange not to be with them right now. It's going to be even more strange to be with my family without my mom, dad and sister. I've never been alone with them. It's going to be fun =). Ok for now I am done with this post. I just had to write something. Will probably update again soon. I'm in travel mode again which means I have too much time to think about things again. Ooh boy. 2 weeks left in Italy, one in New York, a few days at home then it's back to reality. Ahh the life I live =).
