Going to a different country, especially if you live in the states, is a whole new experience. Their customs, laws, ways are all different than ours and it is clearly wonderful. Learning new things is also a plus. Something said in Italy really opened my mind and hope to continue to live by it. "dolche far niente" which the english translation is "The sweetness of doing nothing". The italians live by this, and I think that is just a brilliant conception.
Next time you decide to go out for dinner. Try and enjoy your meal, and then take your time when you are finished. The american servers are very selfish and rush you out of "their" tables. Don't feel rushed. Enjoy your time and meal and company, to whom you are sharing this meal with. You paid for your meal. You most likely waited to sit down. And lastly, you tipped the server. So sit their, and give your body a little time to digest as well as just rest. If you feel rushed, COMPLAIN. Because that is a bad server.
The city of love, Verona, was beautiful yet calm. I recently just saw Letters To Juliet, a movie that was located in Verona. The movie was a sweet romantic love story of a woman who wrote a letter to Juliet Capulet (William Shakespeare's character Juliet Capulet, in his tragedy: Romeo & Juliet). 50 years later a younger woman on her honeymoon found the letter and responded to it. It was a beautifully wrote letter, and the whole movie these two woman, and the older woman's grandson, travel to find the older woman's true love. Again such a sweet romantic story.
The letter talked about using the two words "what" and "if". Separate these words are as harmless as can be, but put them both together and they can be the deadliest to words of the human heart. The letter made me think about love and how does love exactly happen. People are sex addicts in our country. They are in other places as well, don't get me wrong, but more in the United States than any other country. I feel like we miss the big picture, as it drives away attached to a bus. I mean do we know how to love or do we not. Does anyone? Can anyone? How do you know? I wish I watched this movie because I traveled to Italy because I would have loved to feel what I feel now in the city of love.
