Epilogue

Hello, it's Aditi. I just thought I'd write a quick sum up of my thoughts on the trip as it really was a once in a lifetime experience. Indeed as we've said: "why get drunk at Napa when we can be cultured in Europe?" Granted, we weren't that cultured - I mean we went to museums and stuff, but I think the experiences we enjoyed and will cherish the most were those that just happened because we were around each other and in such magical places. Personally, I will always carry with me memories of the pizza from Sorbillos in Naples; the flautist playing at night in Florence; the desperate need to get out of the Vatican Museum; the drink in Campo di'Firori; the over-nighter train to Paris; the glorious sunset from the Eiffel tower and of course and absolutely unforgettable 18th birthday. Spending these past days with two of my closest friends has been unbelievably fun, and I can't thank Laura and Milly enough for making it so special for me. Also for taking me to the Erotic Museum and buying me Fifty Shades of Grey - I am totally mortified. Here's to an amazing holiday, all the people we met (Jessica/Yessica, Eva, JAG, Gay Couple, Nick, Sam, Old-Lady-Who-Slapped-The-Pickpocket), all the food we ate, all the stuff w bought, all the times we embarrassed ourselves and of course to the three of us: may we never mature.

Lots and pots of love,
Shrinky (Aditi)
