Miss: I Do, I Will, I Won't

It's officially the last week of our trip. It's hard to believe it's been over 6 weeks since I got here. It seems like I've been here forever, but it also seems like the time has flown by. This week will be full of "It's our last Monday, it's our last Piazza Michelangelo sunset, our last view of the Duomo, etc", it's going to be sad. But I'm also getting excited about being home, this is by far the longest I've been out of the country. I've done a lot of thinking about what I miss most, what I'm going to miss the most, and what I'll be ok without, and came up with these lists:

I Miss:

My family, friends, Colleen, etc.

My car

Tex-Mex

Free water

Free refills

Not tiny bathrooms

My bed

American Television

Everyone speaking English

Air conditioning

Being able to use my debit card everywhere

And probably more, but that's all for now.

I Will Miss:

The whole gang

The Duomo

Sunsets at the Piazza Michelangelo

The Arno

La Carraia gelato

Oil Shoppe panini

Friendly Italians

Traveling around Italy

Euros (While the conversion rate is painful, and they kinda looks like Monopoly money, I've grown to like them)

The Flub

All the delicious Italian food

Etc, etc etc...

I Won't Miss:

Mean Italians

Shady street vendors

The ambulances

Our annoying door (it's very frustrating to open)

The exchange rate

That's about it.

All in all, it's been an incredible experience, and I'm sad to see it end, but I'm looking forward to being home.

Ciao
