A glimpse of the happenings in Italy.  A short list.  A list of a random 8.

1.  Got Blessed by the Pope
2.  Got stung by a Jellyfish in the Mediterranean
3.  Had a picnic above the Clouds
4.  Had a tour de pizza in Naples
5.  Saw a man stealing wishes
6.  Did the tourist thing
7.  Broke my Camera Lens. . . RIP
8.  Got stuck on an Island





Words are unable to make sense of my true feelings.  The past ten days in Italy still linger in my mind without even being able to digest a day of it.  I can say the joys have come from my new friends and freedom.  Italy was not about standing at the base of the Coliseum and looking up at its grand natureit wasn’t about closing my eyes and seeing a time that no longer exists.  All of those historical moments were amazing and as some would say “breathtaking.”  It was about being part of something that I am still unable to comprehend.  Life can come to a point in which it seems so simple with the mundane.  The freedom within these travels have broken me away from the clutches of singularity; in Italy we were free to come and go as we deemed necessary.
