Things I miss (cose che mi mancano)

• carpet - frozen tile abounds in this country
  
• hugs - baci (kisses on the cheek) are nice and intimate, but they can't replace solid human contact
  
• rollerblading - seeing bladers in Valencia reminded me how much I miss looking super cool while sporting wrist guards
  
• peanut butter toast with honey
  
• eggs - they just simply don't exist in their natural form here
  
• cereal - every morning is simply and strictly only 2 pieces of bread and jam
  
• TEA at odd hours of the night and day

Things about me that have changed since I've been in Italy

• I actually drink coffee (ogni tanto)
• I wear scarves (my whiteness is becoming increasingly undeniable)
• These days I rarely wish I was the moon
• I'm seriously considering wearing wigs (think a slightly less eccentric version of the voice of reason in Pretty in Pink
• That last one doesn't really have anything to do with Italy now that I think about it
