Well, time passed and we ended up looking for a ticket to go back to Europe.
And we chose Italy. There were two main reasons. Dom has a family living there;grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins and so on that he wanted to see and my friends were organizing a volunteers reunion in Sicily for couple of days. And to be honest Italy sounded like a great country to land in after 6 months of summer in South East Asia :)
So we got here. The feeling that I got in Bangkok came back to me. Oh my God, the food, the glorious italian food welcomed us back. There is something about it. What am I talking about? Italians are magicians when it comes to food :)
Ricotta, parmesano, ravioli, spaghetti, lasagna, pasta, pesto, nutella, gelato, pizza, mascarpone, olive oil, wine... Oh my God, all the tasty food that we missed.
Dom's family made sure that I will taste everything. Our shrank asian stomachs became the stretched european ones.
And then it was time for the nature. We drove from North to South enjoying beautiful landscape of snowy mountains, green hills, hot plains, sandy beaches and cute Italian houses.
The time spent with my friends reunited in Sicily was full of great memories and of course amazing Sicilian food.
I feel like Italy is treating me well. But very soon I will be packing my old backpack and coming to see my homeland-Lithuania. And this time I am bringing Dom so he can finally see where I grew up.
I hope you are all well,
Much love,
Ligita
