Italy....finally Italy....

It was this time last year that I spent 10 days in Italy to round out my European adventure~
What an incredible place. I can feel it in my heart now, just thinking about it.
Originally when I was planning the Italy portion of my trip I thought I did not want to go to Rome since I was going to be by myself and had heard things about pick pockets etc....But I AM SO GLAD I DID! My friend Andy said I HAD to go, that it was really such an incredible place and he was so right!
It ended up being one of my very favorite places in the world~
ROME...
The fountains

The architecture

The statues

The artwork

The Pope!

The crowds

The history

The Espresso and pastries

The food…

The list goes on and on~
I think I left a piece of my heart in Rome~ I just loved it!
