On my way home

Hey everyone! I guess this will probably be my last post. I know its been a while since I posted last- All of this last week was exams and presentations, and we were all very busy doing a lot of not so interesting things.
All of my finals seemed to go well though, and we still managed to have a lot of fun despite all the work.
My homestay mom surprised my roommate and I with a Giraffa banner. Not one of the ones you can by at any store, but one of the ones that the contrada sells and you can only buy if you are in the contrada. We were both so excited! She had been gone the week of my birthday, and she also surprised me with an Italian cake- much more basic than American cakes, but it was still delicious.
Thursday and Friday we all worked to wrap everything up. We went to one last dinner together, at the same restaurant we went to the second day we were in Italy. We went on a final shopping expedition. And this morning we got up at 6:30 and walked to the bus station at 7:30.
One last bus ride through Tuscany, a little while in the airport and now I am not in Italy in more.
My flight routes through France to Atlanta, so right now I am sitting in the airport in Paris. We over the city, so I got to see the Eiffel Tower from the plane. We flew over huge snow covered mountains too, some of them were higher than the clouds.
We board the plane in 30 minutes to return to Atlanta.
I am ready to come home, but sad at the same time to leave Italy.
This is the end of another one of my journeys, but the next one is starting soon. Last year of Undergrad. I hope that sometime soon though, my path will take me back to Italy.
