Well, here it is, The Promised Blog! Though I have yet to step aboard my plane, the trip in a sense has already begun. With another semester at the U of A complete, all that remains on the horizon for my future appears to be my trip to Florence. My entire being focuses on this trip now- I dream, sleep, and breathe Italia and its coveted culinary treasures!
Just to kind of sum up what this trip means for me: First time for this girl to be out of the country. First time for this girl to ever even fly by myself anywhere other than Dallas. First time I will be anywhere without knowing at least one other person. We're talking a total immersion into the unfamiliar.
With all of this unavoidable novel experience, there is one thing that always helps ease any anxiety: food. It's the ultimate comfort, and I can't think of a better way to deal with stress in Italy than to eat. When in Rome....
Being a foodie, Florence is sort of my Mecca. This blog will be about food, life in Italy, new experiences and food. Just so you know what you're in for. All 10 of you that might read this. That's all for now, more blogging as departure approaches!
Buon Appetito!
