It was a long & exhausting journey back to Charleston. A walk to the bus station in Palermo @ 5am, hour long bus ride, hour long plane ride to Rome, mad rush through passport check to get to the next flight-9.5 hours to New York, picking up & rechecking my bag after going through customs, running around JFK and taking the air train & bus to get to the right terminal, than 2 more hours to Charleston.
It feels good to be home. I had an amazing journey, I saw parts of Italy I never knew existed, experienced the culture & the food, met some interesting & friendly people, & felt alive. Even though I may never get the opportunity to live in Italy, I know I will be back-there are still so many parts to explore, foods to try, and places to see. Until next time, arrivederci.
