Yes, culture shock is a real thing. And I am not afraid to admit to having experienced it personally. Being cooped up in a plane for 15 hours...jet lag...craving a REAL meal (instead of airplane peanuts)...plus getting lost in a completely foreign country by myself is not the way I planned on starting off my trip. However, after a good night's sleep in a toasty, very toasty bed, I was over it. Thank goodness!
It's only day 3 and I'm just now being able to stop and breathe. There's so much rich culture in Italy. Between the cappuccino, art work, espresso, all the different pastas...and the Italian men (wink wink), I'm beginning to think 4 weeks won't be long enough!
I've already learned so much here and taken more photos than my camera can handle and class hasn't even started yet!
Just a taste..
love.
