....todays post is just a montage of our study abroad parents weekend :) today I went to class early, then went out to a great last lunch with mom, dad, and Eliana....before taking mom and dad to catch their bus for Milan....where they will spend the night and be on a plane tomorrow morning.....so here are just a few of the bazillion memories that we made these past 5 days....i cannot believe that they came, and truly, that they are now gone....it feels like they were here forever, and that those days flew, at the same time....i LOVED having them here....i dont think that I have ever enjoyed a time with my parents so much (with the exception of our Europe soccer trip)....there was just something about this....it truly was the most fun....
