I can't imagine a better weekend then being with Leo.
I must admit though, I can't wait til we get married, for the romantic and practical reasons.
It was a full weekend though. I arrived at Ciampino at 6.30 but read my book and at 7.50 parked in the proper parking space thinking that Leo would be out by 8.30 anyway. Plus parking was €3/hour. So that's pretty expensive. Unfortunately, Leo's flight was delayed by half an hour. I only had €10 for the WEEKEND, and well, €6 went to parking. On our way back, the short half hour way was closed so I had to drive an hour! from the airport to his house. We've talked about having Greek food for so long, after stopping by the house we went to Trastevere to find it closed!
We looked for Mapi, the restaurant we had gone to for Leo's brothers girlfriends gradution. Fortunately, they were open and at 11pm, accomodating! :) We ate our pizza and went home.
I got up around 9 the next morning but didn't leave til around 10.30 to go and feed Eetu, Kristine's cat. I was feeling so tired. Anyway, I fed Eetu, and made my way to a do-it yourself car wash. Of course, it was broken. So I went to Leo's house. We had lunch at this small place near his house that took food coupons, for half of the total amount. It was great! We were both broke and it helped us save money :) It was 3 by the time we left and we decided to get the car washed, lo and behold. The one Leo was going to, was closed. But since we were heading in the general direction of the Oviesse (next on our errand list anyway) we headed there. We bought him his undershirts he likes so much. On our way back to the house, we saw a car wash that was opened! We got the car washed and then, he told me he promised Portugal to check out her school. Therefore, we headed to the Center! (after of course trying to go to a shoe store, because Leo wanted to check out shoes, but the store was closed-no surprise there) We found the school but was baffled that it was called Valle Giulia, when he was expecting a different name. We walked around the area for a bit. We were then heading towards the Vatican for some ice cream (it was around 7 by now) and he said he really wanted to see the sea.
So we headed toward Ostia. We saw the most perfect pale sunset....I can't describe it. Any way I would still wouldn't do it justice. We walked along the sea shore, our bare feet getting wet by the waves rushing to the shore. It was a pleasant walk, just listening to the sea, watching the sun set and the moon rise. Feeling the warm water on our feet. We even ran into a beach turtle!

just in case it didn't come out well
Leo and the beach Turtle!
We headed back to Rome by 9 and had dinner near his house. I loved the Salami! We only had one plate of apetizers and one pizza, yet we weren't able to finish them! We headed home to water the plants and other house related stuff.
I got up by 7ish this morning to take him to the airport. I had left him walking into security check at 9.15. I'm really feeling tired now. Very sleepy. I will leave at 6.30 though to feed Eetu again. Celia is out, until late. Maybe I can have an early night.
I'm feeling a bit sad though, because Leo's dad went to the hospital. I hope he feels better soon.
