The Mental Samplings Of horse_freak001

Everything is so different now that I am back n Canada. Italy was a phenomenal experience and I feel like it wasn't enough. There is so much more that I want to do and just as I began feeling comfortable with the language, I had to leave.

I really am starting to feel the "reverse homesickness". It makes me so sad looking through all my Italy pictures, and even worse talking to all my Italian friends (both in Italy and around the world).
