Well I guess I haven't done very well at "getting started" huh? It is now June, and I am heading in to my 2nd of 6 weeks here in Italy. I am in Florence, which may I add is one of the most enchanting cities I have ever visited. Actually, perhaps that is not initially true. Because I have been here before, but just for about 48 hours, and I don't think I "got" the city. I liked it, but I definitely missed it on some level. But spending time here is a different story. It is so captivating with it's big city possibilities and its small town ambiance. Walking down the street you feel as if you have walked back in time. Somehow the Florentines have managed to maintain their traditions and culture while also joining much of the modern world. It is somewhat of marvel. The thing is, however, that no matter how much time you have to spend somewhere, it doesn't feel like enough. I already feel overwhelmed at how much there is to see and do and appreciate, and I feel like although I am going nonstop, somehow I'm missing it....
I am sure that when my 6 weeks are up this will not be the case. I try to live in the moment, and so far am loving every second! More to come soon!
Ciao!
