Rome Day 5...August 7, 2011


We realized that we had been GO GO GO for like the better half of 2 weeks we thought it would be best for us to have a down day!  So we slept in and enjoyed a lazy morning together.  We thought we’d head out for some shopping but soon realized 3 things.  1-we really didn’t have anything that we needed to purchase! 2-most of the good shops are closed on Sundays.  3-it was actually too hot to shop!  We really didn’t have any energy!  You know when you finally allow yourself to relax sometimes you hit that “blah” wall…well we hit it…together.  We went back to relax a little more (I think our bodies were appreciating the down time a little!) and made a pact that we would go out later at night!  We left as it was beginning to cool off and just went exploring!  We walked down little side streets and past small boutiques.  We turned random corners and backtracked to where we started.  We made sure we didn’t stop at the first restaurant we found and also that we had room for gelato!  

It was a great evening…and one that made us realize that our next vacation together should be a beach vacation…where all we’re expected to do is lie on the beach, fruity drink in one hand, nook in the other and let it all go!  Wouldn’t that be nice?!  But rather than looking that far ahead we’re decided to live in the present and think only about the right now (for now!).  That being said…we’re both looking forward to fall…the leaves changing color, football, etc.  Mainly because we know that after fall comes winter and in winter we’ll get to see each other again!  AHH!!!  No being sad!  Only happy!  Can’t dwell on the fact that this fantastic summer will come to an end and I will need to return to the States in a few weeks (well…days really now!).  We can’t be sad it’s over…we’re only just beginning this new chapter!
