"It was an adventure just going to the grocery store. We stayed in a small town in rural Italy. We ended up speaking Italian a lot more than we would have in a large city. We met a lot of young people from the area and we would go out for coffee together and talk. Between the unique geological oppurtunities and the culture of the Italian countryside, it was one of the highlights of my life."
