Somewhere between Rome
and Perugia...
|
This is so weird. This train, this very train that
we are on right now, will pass by the very train that Leigh is on in 10
minutes. We're going to Perugia, where they're
coming from. It's unbelievable. We'll get off the train and
walk into a station that they were in not four hours previously, but we
haven't seen them in days and won't for another couple. How very
strange.
Let's see now, we're coming into a station... could that be their train? No, it's too soon, too soon. Erik is in pretty tough shape. After our little sightseeing expedition yesterday, we did indeed partake of some of the revelry of this great city. Erik did most of the partaking though, and I think he can feel it right about now, too. It's pretty funny; he's trying to distract himself by visciously planning an itinerary for Perugia. That pencil he's using looks pretty useless too. Wait, here comes one. Yes, it is, it must be, our trains should cross at about 8:47, and it's just about that time now. Quick, quick, look in the windows... I can't see them but I know she's there. Can you feel her presence? It's already gone... I wanted to reach out. She was there, so close to me, but I couldn't see her or hear her. How weird is that? To be 20 feet away from someone and never know that you are, and I won't be that close again until we meet up in Rome, at the Colosseum. I can't wait! But for now... |
