Roma






































Indescribable!  Absolutely too much to see in too little time.  This place combines the historical richness of what Italy encapsulates as a whole, in conjunction with the ever present modern lifestyle which threatens everything Italians hold dear.  Dodging Vespas and taxis and l'autobus's, to eating gelato at 11:30 pm at the famous Trevi Fountain.  Campo De' Fiori.  Feeling tiny amongst the status in St. Pietro's Square....Vatican Gottoes, not to be confused with the "Grotto at The Playboy Mansion", I made that unfortunate mistake...Tomb of St. Peter...Sistine Chapel (sorry no photo's allowed, and you would have to see it to know why..)  The cobblestone streets and winding roads to empty piazza's...  Digestivo's at the Pantheon(Divinci Code fans, eat your heart out!) The Pope's private garden...  The Spanish Steps...  The Vaticani Museo... the Colosseum... Allora!
