Day 107

---

Back in Rome… I think this is the first time I came back from a trip, and was not happy to see Rome. Normally after the train/bus/plane/cab ride I just want to be back somewhere familiar, but this time I was dreading getting off the train. I just did not way to be back. Maybe it’s because I know I have to leave again so soon, and that time I won’t be returning. Not for awhile at least.

Today was fairly easy though. One of the trails was closed so we had to take the train to that village, then we “hiked” to the last town. It was more of a sidewalk in the cliffside. Still gorgeous though. Everyone else went to Pisa on the way home, but Adrienne and I went straight back to Rome, I’ve already seen it and they were literally going to get off the train, find the tower, and get the next train to Rome.
I’ve started packing - and freaking out. I have to keep justifying that my bags aren’t going to be too heavy. I’ll be able to fit everything - if I pack a few times, but the weight is what I’m most worried about. I guess if I have to pay for overweight, I have to pay! I’ll rearrange what I can, and put more stuff in my carry on, if it’s that close, but if worst comes to worst… I’m paying.
