Sunday was a lazy day! We literally just laid around and did nothing
but talk. It was so much fun and so
wonderful! I really value Nick’s
communicative nature! We had some
Pandoro, and just relaxed. It was such a
simple morning, but a wonderful one!
Andrea, the Rome ETA whose
apartment we were staying in, arrived at the station from Gubbio (yes, where
Nick lives) around lunch time. Andrea
had been in Gubbio doing research, and she stayed in Nick’s apartment; it was a
perfect trade! So, by the time Andrea
arrived at the apartment, we only had a few minutes to talk to her, and then we
had to head towards the station so that we would have time to grab a sandwich
so that I could catch my 1:45 train. I
was really sad to leave because I knew that I would then have to leave Nick
behind at the station. I should also
note that sweet Nick carried my now heavy weekender to the station for me, and
yesterday he carried my purse a good bit!
When we got to the station, we went to Mr. Panino, and got
sandwiches! He was even sweet to go
switch my sandwich when they got it wrong!
So then we walked to my platform, and that’s when I discovered/remembered
that I had a first-class ticket for this train because when I bought it, the
cheapest first class was the same as the only second class ticket they had, so
why NOT travel first class?? He was
so sweet to help me get my things on the train and then we just stood and
talked for the last few minutes we had!
Eventually he had to get off the train, but he waited on the platform
near my window until my train was gone!
He was so cute and adorable.

| Nicest local train I've ridden in the south! From Paola to Cosenza |
The train ride was rather
uneventful. I slept for about 3 ½ hours
of the trip, and because first class was relatively empty, I was able to spread
out a bit and actually sleep! When I
arrived in Cosenza, Lilla was there waiting on me! She took me home, and I had oatmeal for
dinner, which was amazing! THEN, I was
able to skype with my momma and daddy for a loooong time, which is always
nice! They were watching the Seahawks
vs. Atlanta, which Nick was watching here in Italy! They were all rooting for different teams..I
on the other hand only cared about Julio doing well, and I wanted Nick to be
happy! The latter did not happen…but he
was a good sport about it! I ended the
night with talking to Nick on the phone until we fell asleep!
So a day full of rest,
sleep, and some travel! Not a bad day in
Italy I’d say!
