When I first started this trip, I didn’t really know any of my fellow students and had no real concept of Italian culture. But in the span of about a month, that has all changed. I now consider these once complete strangers to be friends and I have gained an even greater appreciation for the rich history of our host city.
While I look forward to seeing my family and friends back home, there are still things that I know I will miss upon my return. For one, it seems that our departure comes around the same time that I really feel like I have a lay of the land, at least enough to go between home, class, and a few major sites.
Transitioning back from Rome to Boston will be an interesting experience. As I have already noted, the overall pace and mood of Rome can be a little hectic. On top of that, it will be nice to no longer have to worry about not being fluent in the native language. At the same time, I will still miss many of the people, the food, and the “living history” I have become so accustomed to in the past month.
