Well, up early as usual.. this time 6:45am to make sure we had time for shopping, coffee and a relaxing drive over to the airport. It felt strange this morning.. I woke up, had a shower and walked around a little packing my stuff with my window wide open. I love the air there. So, packed up and said my goodbyes to the lovely Monesi parents.. then we headed to the supermarket to pick up some yummy mozzarella, parmesano, meats and olive oil. Felt pretty knocked from last night.. but breakfast in Claudios home time soon prepped me up - a cappucino and gooey pastry. The sun was shining in the cool morning.. felt perfect. We didnt have so much time and soon were back in the car on the way to the airport. We blasted the tunes, put down the windows and enjoyed. We stopped off quickly at this strange road that has some even stranger gravity effect. It pulls water in a certain direction. You can even stop your car and it slowly gets pulled in the direction. Maybe its hard to understand reading it.. but even researchers cant explain what's going on.. so how can I? :)
Well, reached the airport in good timing and queued up for my tickets. Things went reasonably smooth and the flights seemed to be on time. Only problem was all the food I bought at the shop.. it wouldn't fit in my bags and there was a bit of a struggle to jam it all in. Success! Thanks to Claudio! We said our goodbyes and parted ways at security.. it was sad. We talked for 4 days straight and had such a nice time.. part of me was sad to leave - such a magical holiday. I saw the most beautiful city I have EVER seen, met a WONDERFUL family, tasted GREAT food and had the perfect host.
Thank you Claudio................... Roma e la piu bella chitta del mondo... e... grazie mille!!!!
With Love,
