Alright all my family travelers.. Let me know if you remember any of these beautiful sites from your Italian adventures! Rome is like no other place I have ever experienced, it is breathtaking and intimate and filled with busy streets and fast moving (and talking) Italians, yet has a calming effect in the small flower-filled cafe's found in the backstreets of Rome. Although I should have taken notes in order to remember the names of each place (because my Italian is non-exisent), here is my first day experience through pictures... |
| The first fountain next to our hotel |
 |
| At this point I thought this is the most beautiful thing I've seen... little did I know |
 |
| Everything is big big big |
 |
| English Catholic church in Rome (masses said in English every Sunday) |
 |
| Vespa's are quite plentiful in Italy |
 |
| The fountains all had drinkable water, and it was an extremely hot day so we utilized them a lot! |
 |
| My favorite parts of Rome were the small cafe's and restaurants that were hiding among the incredible structures that Rome had to offer. |
 |
| Trevi fountain. |
 |
| First gelato experience, very exciting! |
 |
| Kiwi and Strawberry |
 |
| The Pantheon |
 |
| Old Rome was built 45 feet below where the streets sit today |
 |
| Also serves as a church |
 |
| The columns are an art in themselves |
 |
| Obsessed with the doors and small details |
 |
| Vespa in action! |
 |
| Ancient Roman condominium |
 |
| Capitol Hill |
 |
| Ancient Roman ruins |
 |
| Fruit stands |
 |
| That cannot be real! |
 |
| Finally, the Coliseum! |
 |
| Incredible! |
There is my introduction to Rome and Italy! Miss everyone, hope y'all enjoyed!
AMAZING! Everywhere you turn it is historical...full of art and beautiful architecture. Artists that dedicated their life to art. There is old Rome, and then ANCIENT Rome! Both are quite spectacular. The cafes look so charming and cozy. Don't miss a thing! Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteCiao, bella! I can't believe you covered that much in your first day! All of it looked spectacular. You looked totally surrounded by art. Your head must be spinning. There is only one cure for that - gelato everyday. Love sha

WOW! What a great intro to Italy. Beautiful and humbling. I agree with Sha- gelato is the cure for everything! Not to mention the wine, but you are 21 now. Enjoy! Love, Les
