On my way home

After 3 weeks, I am on my way home. Salzburg to Frankfurt to Munich to Montreal. If you look at a map, it is a ridiculous itinerary. If you look where I am sitting at the front of the plane, it is well worth it!

I have had an incredible time in Firenze, Cinque Terre, Cividale and Salzburg. I have dreamt of this trip for such a long time and it turned out to be even more wonderful than I could have imagined.

Not only did I learn more Italian, but I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of Firenze and the Fiorentinos. The Istituto Michelangelo was a great place to learn the language and also to have a home base where there was always something going on and someone to talk to. Above all, I have met some of the most incredible people, with whom I spent countless hours wandering, eating, drinking and talking; fascinating people from all over the world who I can’t wait to see again. I also got to meet up with some dear friends whom I haven’t seen in way too long and see Cinque Terre with them. There was also a random encounter with an MBA friend who happened to be here too - and we discovered a great pizza place together. I got to spend time with my cousin who I haven’t seen in 14 years, see his dream house in Cividale and meet his wife. I also got to squeeze in a little time with my aunt in Salzburg, since I was in the neighborhood.

Thanks for coming along on my little trip – I hope you enjoyed it.

Baccio-
