"Another [sunny] day
has come and gone away
in Paris and Rome,
but I wanna go home ..."

I'm on the last day of my travels! I can't believe what an amazing, educational, and inspirational experience I've had. My plan for today is just to relax and absorb Rome--my final European destination. I visited the Vatican yesterday and it was completely and thoroughly amazing but left me exhausted. Rome--like Paris--is totally flooded with tourists, which I supposed merely reflects the fact that they're great places and popular destinations but it gets kind of old pretty quickly. Perhaps today I'll focus on the culinary factors of Rome ;)

I leave here early tomorrow morning, but keep reading because I do have a few final thoughts I'd like to share with you all once I'm home! And, as always, they will be deep, meaningful thoughts.
