I can’t believe I’m still sharing Rome posts, but it’s been nice trickling them out gradually and reliving the fun memories I had there over and over again. There’s no rhyme or reason to this post, aside from sharing some snapshots that haven’t yet appeared on the blog. My first-ever trip to Rome was documented on a small point-and-shoot, so this time I may have gone a little crazy with my DSLR and snapped hundreds and hundreds of photos…oops!
Also, while going through these photos, I was reminded of how effortlessly Elizabeth Gilbert embodied the city with these words from her book Eat, Pray, Love (Italy was by far my favorite part!):
Hope you enjoy these photos, and the rest of your week!

Bella, bella! It’s funny but my least favourite part of Rome was the Spanish Steps and The Trevi Fountain; I don’t know if it was because there were too many people around, or it was the wrong time of night, but it seemed a little seedy-might have to go back and check

Yeah, the crowds can definitely take away from those places. They aren’t in seedy areas, across from the Spanish Steps are all of the designer stores, but hordes of people are never fun.

…sitting in my FCE writing class and wishing I was not! I loved how Gilbert described Rome and completely agree: Rome is so non-fussy.

Marvellous pics.
I would like to see your picture of the Pantheon, if you have one. I’m a Tour Guide in Rome and it’s my favourite attraction: as your ability into taking pictures is very high, I’m interested to check your angle of view for that monument….

I love the photo of the sports car in front of the fountain(?) without anything else on the road! It looks so classically Italian, like it belongs on a calendar or something!

Your photos are beautiful! You captured the essence of Rome perfectly! And I adored the Italy part in Eat, Pray, Love so much too!

These are easily some of the best photos I have seen of the eternal city
they so elegantly and effortlessly capture a spriit and a special-something that makes Roma so unforgettable
