Back from Bologna! On one hand, two and a half days for a jaunt to Italy isn't nearly enough, on the other hand, it's pretty amazing that in this day and age, a two and a half day jaunt across the Atlantic and back is even possible. There were times when this was nearly a six week trip minimum just to go both ways.
But in any case, it was a weekend full of nostalgia and good times and reminiscing, and it was reassuring that in some respects, things haven't changed hardly a bit, save for more financial stability in our own pockets and some general costmetic changes for the better - everyone was definitely looking good.
In anticipation of the trip, I dug up some of the songs that were so "formative" as international relations students in Italy at at time when those international relations moved from sleepy to overdrive in the wake of everything that happened that year. Yet despite all that, we managed to have an amazing year of experiences and any one of these songs puts me right back there, as if no time has passed at all.
A very special thank you to a classmate to dug up the whole playlist as I had long packed the CD (yes, we had CD's then) in one of our many shipments. So for those that were there, here's to "one more time"...
