Wow. Where did those 4 weeks go?! I can't believe my Italian adventure (so far) has come to an end. I have had the most amazing time with the most amazing people. If you haven't already read Anna's blog (the one previous) you MUST so you can get an idea of a) the kind of life we had and b) the kind of crazy person she is haha but I love her to bits :) From the start she definitely took me under her wing and threw me into her Spiazzo world.
