Wow, this week was a struggle. I think we had "Light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel syndrome". Every morning we woke up and said, "Three more days; Two more days", etc. Our minds, bodies and souls are dead tired and oh so ready for our long vacation. Many of our students gave us Christmas gifts to say thank you for our time together, which was very sweet. We also got many goodbye kisses in true Italian fashion. The beautiful thing is that we truly made some new friends through our work.
This weekend we will spend some time cooking and relaxing, we will have Christmas Eve dinner with Dante and Mariella, and on Tuesday we plan to go to the Vatican Museum in the hopes that so soon after the holiday the line will be reasonable. Then, on Wednesday, we board the train for Parma! We are extremely excited for our trip, and you can expect lots of good pictures and stories when we return.
