You had me captivated from one sentence to the next. It brought back memories of my time in Europe (that very same semester in 2000!) and that breathless sense of self-discovery, exploration, and maturity. For the first time I knew I was an adult, knew I could chart my course and live a fascinating, fulfilled life. Your story made me remember that amazing feeling. Thanks. I loved this story.

Here you were Assisi, the place where St. Francis became known as a man of God and the wilderness, and you were being confronted by traveling by foot in the Italian countryside and by even God's smallest creatures, which caused you to confront a part of yourself. Where else would it be more appropriate to come face to face with a large spider and a living wall of ants in the place you want to rest? I think the story overall is rather appropriate.
