We all kind of laughed, but understanding the sentiments she was getting at, it was no big deal to just wake up, and go see some crypts, and go sight see in Rome. This was our "normal", we weren't traveling anywhere, this is just where we live, no matter how long it is for.
We kept saying it as the day went on, as we walked along the Tiber, through the Piaza di San Pietro and past the vatican, "do you guys realize". It became almost a joke, but also a reminder to stop and think about the fact that this is what we are doing with our lives right now.
The question stuck with me, and I kept saying it as Megan, Will, Greta and I spent the day in Orvieto eating and drinking in grottos, seeing sights we couldn't imagine, and still trying to take the time to recognize and appreciate what we are doing.
So, thanks Rachel, going forward I will keep saying, "Hey, do you realize..." to myself, and to others so I can keep realizing and appreciating all that this trip is for me. All while defining what it is for me along the way.
