Leaving Rome, June 29

We packed up and headed to the train station. Just as in Florence, I felt sad leaving our apartment and leaving the city. It didn’t last long though, because all I would have to do is think about my cats. This made me very ready to get back home.  I spent the train ride catching up on my blog and making the following list:

My Top 4 Favorite Things about the trip:

1.     Cooking and having dinner with Laura and her family

2.     Walking to and from our apartment in Florence, or just walking around in general.

3.     Seeing all of the art and churches in person.

4.     Hanging out with Maddie and Devin

Things I will not miss from the trip:

1.     Paying for water at restaurants

2.     Small drinking glasses

3.     Paying to use restrooms

4.     The lack of air circulation in buildings

5.     The frequent “CASH ONLY” or not being able to break “large” bills like 20’s and 50’s.

6.     Pizza, Paninis, Pasta-While I love all of these, I’m ready for a break! I want to eat rice, quinoa, and soup! I will miss gelato so VERY much.
