Eat, drink, love!

That is my mantra for this trip. I want to eat as much as I can and not feel ashamed since I'm walking at least 5 miles a day. With eating comes drinking. I mean, come on, it's Italy. Every place you go they say 'we have the best wine for you' and of course, you have to try it. Price doesn't really matter because even their table wines are better than mid shelf stuff in the states. Lastly, love. Seems pretty self explanatory, but lets just be clear (for those of us with dirty minds). I'm not trying to fall in love with some Italian man in two weeks and never return to the states... (I was trying to make this some elaborate exaggeration, but it's not sounding half bad so let me rephrase) its unlikely that I'll have some Julia Roberts romance, but I do want to love every moment of this trip. Be it the people, places or purchases, I just want to be conscious of this journey in my life.
