Parental Invasion

When I was getting ready to study abroad my parents made plans to come visit at the end of November. At the time it seemed such a distant event, I couldn’t believe it was finally here. While the visit was short and made me very anxious to go home, I was still glad to see them. We spent the days touring the countryside, with visits to Siena and San Gimignano, where sadly the world’s best gelateria was closed, and strolling the streets of Florence. We visited all the museums and sites, like the David, that I hadn’t had time to see before. It ended much too quickly, but soon enough I’ll be home.
