"The Italy Experience" by Nisha Malhotra

Nisha Malhotra sums up her impressions of Italy thus far in a different way:
"The river pulses along its course, determined to get to its ultimate destination. The soft rushing wakes You up soothingly, gently. Sunlight filters into The room, restricted only by The sheer curtains, casting a soft yellow glow across The floor. The smell of fresh bread and cake awaits You as You stretch your arms out wide, preparing yourself for The wonders of The day to come. And come They do.
Florence. Art and culture and craftsmanship combine in a clash of The senses. Stores, people, and bright colors sweep by in a swirl of excitement as you take it all in, intoxicating yourself in The fact that You Are actually HERE, in ITALY, and how lucky You Are. Century old statues and golden paintings take your breath away, leaving You in a state of awe. You Are transported to a different era, a different world. Can such beauty even exist? The landscapes You witness on easter morning, fresh with The promise of happiness in The air, blow your mind. You cant decide whether or not to be afraid of The steep cliffside drop Next to You, or too ensnared by its lusciousness. You've never seen such greenery, nature in its original state. You feel blessed with The Sun shining on you, sitting amongst friends who Are really your family, and You breathe in deep, grateful to be alive at such a glorious time."
