Italy-a land of sun. Yes, as we returned from our summer abroad we agreed that Italy is truly this, sunny in many ways. We of course felt the heat of the sun as we walked with our new brothers and sisters and as we ran to cool ourselves in the blue of the sea. The warmth of Italy's sun shining through her people enveloped us also as we became part of an Italian family. We learned in this new role what family closeness can be and we lost our fear and embarrassment at showing affection. Our dear Italian mamma, from her persuading us to eat that second helping of pasta or that eighth piece of fruit to her last hug and kiss at night, was probably a primary factor in our new-found warmth. And the wonder- ful songs- Io, Sono Io,'i f fktrIlQQfrci, Ciao, Ciao, Bambinaf' that were such an outstanding part of Italian ligig I ini: a part of us too. On our ten-day bus tour after leaving our families, 'vvie3?Xperie:Eed1'Italy's sur1 again, reflecting beauty. The ancient dignity of Pompei, Sorrento and the breath-taking view of the Bay of Naples, and the majesty of St. Peter's overwhelmed us. 'We witnessed beauty for the sake of beauty alone as we threw our coins into Trevi fountain and later as we rested in the classic green gardens at Tivoli. Even the land reforms and their newness impressed us. As we boarded our plane in Rome, saying good-bye to Tony and Duda,eour beloved chaperones, and singing for the last time the theme song of the bus tour, we realized how much of Italy and her sun we had absorbed. We felt a closeness to our fellow students which we had learned only from contact with the Italian people, we felt the warmth of true beauty as it touched us everywhere we traveled, and we still felt the influence of our wonder- ful Italian families. We were able to carry home the bit of Italy's sun which was I now ours to share with our own families and friends.
