Italy

When you hear Nonna yell that dinner is finally ready


When Margaret finds out it's panzanella.  With onions.


How you feel after dinner


At the table when someone mentions Colomba



The first time you hear someone speak really fast in that thick Tuscan accent


When you see some sketchy PDA in Piazza del Campo


When you stay up way too late watching Bollywood movies


When you see a hot Italian man on the street


...and another....


...and another.


When you go in for your interview with Bonomi


When you notice someone from the MENSA is creeping on you


After your last day of class at the Dante


When someone compliments you on your Italian


When you're reading the scriptures in Italian



When Limher's jam comes on


When you wake up and forget where you are, then you realize that you're living in Italy
