This time flew by, I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s already been almost 2 months.<\/p><p>As I take <strong>time now to reflect<\/strong> on how this first half of the semester has been,<strong> I\u2019m realizing<\/strong> just <strong>how much I\u2019ve learned about Sorrento<\/strong> and how much more there is to see!<\/p><p>Simply looking through my camera roll, I see so much beauty: both in the views and in the community Sorrento has to offer.<\/p><p>Having <b>this internship has been great at pushing me out of my comfort zone<\/b> in a good way, allowing me to discover new places and attend events that I might not have had the courage to go to by myself if I didn\u2019t have a mission to write about it.<\/p><p><strong>This immersion into Italian culture has been a great way to become more familiar with Sorrento<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>The classes I\u2019m taking at Sant\u2019Anna Institute<\/strong> focus on Italian history and language and <strong>have definitely helped my knowledge of Italian culture grow<\/strong>, but there is something different about walking out into the streets of Sorrento and experiencing it for myself.<\/p><p><strong>One of the first traditions I had the privilege of experiencing was for Sorrento\u2019s patron saint, Sant\u2019Antonino<\/strong>.<\/p><p>This was when <strong>I began to notice the feeling of community<\/strong> created when so many people come together to celebrate, and I got to be a part of it.<\/p><p><strong>The parade in particular<\/strong> was so different than anything I had seen before and it <strong>was a truly insightful look into how a town\u2019s patron saint is
