6:40 PM
Right now I am on the plane home. It feels very weird to be going back. Although a bit early I think I was ready, but was starting to miss Italy already when I had my last cappuccino in the airport in Rome. I realized how far I had come when I saw many clueless Americans in the airport trying to deal with the customs and the language and I was able to help. A particular elderly woman was very dramatic when she only had American dollars and couldn't pronounce brioche. After paying two dollars she exclaimed that it was a crime, but I wasn't sure exactly what she was referring to. (Don't worry, loaded up on the acqua frizzante and some chocolate before I left) All of the travel went very smoothly. Somehow, although I was supposed to pay for my extra bag, and both bags were overweight, they didn't ask me for anything, but I am not going to argue. I also met an interesting character while boarding the plane who when I said was a psychology major said that he did hypnotism as a hobby. Luckily , our conversation didn't go much beyond that (I was starting to get a little creeped out) Somehow, although I didn't get my seat until today I got the first row in the economy class so have had a lot of extra legroom. Still, the ride is going pretty slow, I didn't realize how long 10 hours really felt like! At this point I am just excited to be home and to see everyone. At this point 7 hrs and 45 minutes down and 2 hrs and 15 minutes to go, yay!
by the way, I made it and have been home for almost two weeks!
