When coming to Italy for this
program, I was not too sure what I was going to get myself into. Thankfully, I
did not have much time to think about it, owing to my busy summer schedule with
the Army. My journey started at about 8 am Saturday morning when I left Easley,
SC to drive to Atlanta, GA to catch my flight, and it didn’t end until roughly
11:30 am local time in Naples the next day. It is easy to say that I was
running on fumes by the time I arrived.
That night, after finally getting
settled in, a handful of the other students and I decided to hunt down a good
place to eat. We were hoping to find a pizzeria to try our first slice of
authentic Italian pizza, and that is just what we got. We came across a small
hole in the wall shop that served Margarita pizzas for €4 and with a side of a
66cl Peroni, we could not complain! One pizza here is equivalent to a 12-inch
pizza back home. After that, we walked around via Toledo to see what else we
could find as well as orient ourselves to this new, bustling city. It’s safe to
say by the time we went to bed that night, the majority of us had been awake
for approximately 36 hours, so none of us had any trouble falling asleep.
