  • Got in one more run in Florence before departing. 5 miles at a 9:49/mi pace. Felt real good.

  • Brought back croissants for breakfast.

  • Showered. Packed. Made the 1-mile walk with all of our luggage to the train station. No joke. Luggage is getting heavier!

  • Ate McDonald’s for lunch! C’mon somebody!

  • Took a 2-hour train ride to Rome.

  • Place we’re staying was only a 5-minute walk from train station and on the second floor. Clutch.

  • Watched YouTube videos to decide where to eat.

  • Went for a walk around the exterior of the Vatican City to eat at a popular Roman Pizza Joint. Pizza was tasty. Best part was the crust. It was so good!

  • Took our first UBER ride back home. Super clutch.

  • Made a ton more progress on my e-books. (If you’re wondering if this feels like work for me, the answer is absolutely not. Using my creativity in this way is life-giving!)

  • Rested well.
