Life:16
Even th. ough I've been to Rome before it still floors you when you see the Collusium at the end of a street or walk into St. Peter's Basillica. There really is no place like it in the world as far as sights go and then on top of that you have the food and the weather. I'm not entirely sure why my ancestors ever left italy to be quite honest. Here are some pictures!
Me in front of the Forum, enjoying the most vitamin D I've gotten since I left Charleston ;)
With my amigo's right in front of the Collusium.
Stolen goods beeing displayed in Piazza Del Popollo. sorry Egypt, but at least they're taking care of it? It makes a good picture no matter how questionable crusader booty is. Plus about half the cool things in Rome come from ye olde thefts.
My travel buddies Megan, Ethan, and Jillian in front of the Trevi Fountain. Its cool enough during the day time but at night its wayyy less crouded and looks almost cooler. 
I thought this was a really cool shot of the light coming into St. Peters, we went there for Mass on Sunday which is a really worthwhile thing to do if you have time when you visit Rome and shockingly uncrowded. In Italian of course, but you get the idea. Actually while it was going on I realized that this is what church was like for so many Catholics for so many centuries, mass in a language you can't understand. The feelings are still conveys of course but its difficult to get the message of the surmon. Interesting thing to do anyway.
The Pope. Nuff said.
Love it. This statue always reminds me of my Grandmother's house because she has a mini one somewhere in the piles of stuff upstairs. It gets the message across in minature but in real life its just so moving.
