now that i know that i will only be staying here for another couple of months and then returning to africa (also for a couple of months)… i am homesick before even leaving “my” italy.
what “my” italy consists of?
my best friend renata, my runs in the “valle delle cartiere”, the view, the lake, the excellent food and ingredients, the obligatory “café liscio” after lunch. i will miss you, italy. a lot. before i used to live here but come for my vacation – it were always the small things that made me happy. like watching a “ragazzo” on his vespa talking to a girl, some workers getting into a loud discussion with the “barista” over soccer games and incompetent players.
it is the whole picture surrounded by a perfect landscape. i am in love with this landscape, i love the lake, i love the waves, the different water colors. during the winter time, the lake is either gray or dark blue and very choppy, during the summer it’s more of a turquoise. i love the italians and their laissez-faire (godersi la vita) and i hope that you will also miss the only german without a german accent, but certainly funny italian - with her curly hair!!! abbraccio forte a tutti.
It is really moving!
We will miss you, the curly haired smile of a German woman in Italy, at Garda lake shore.
All the best!
