First of all, Italy was incredible! I wasn't sure if it would really live up to all the hype, or if I would be disappointed at all... I just really wasn't sure what to expect. But oh my gosh does it live up to the hype! I can't begin to describe just how perfect the trip was. It was nice to have 5 days there because it allowed us to slow down and enjoy each day much more like the Italians do.
We spent the first couple of days in Rome. I was kind of surprised at how much I really fell in love with Rome. I was looking forward to Florence much more, but Rome has a lot more to offer than just ruins, as it turns out! We had a great time wondering around all the different piazzas and finding quaint little neighborhoods with picture-perfect cafes. Of course we also saw the colosseum, the forum, and Vatican City as well. Since we were there over Easter it was very crowded, but still interesting to be around all that energy. I left Italy thinking I was Catholic.

This is actually a public water fountain. For drinking. We thought it was weird/gross enough to take a picture of

I wasn't leaving Italy until I had this shot
Typical street at night. So perfect!
Probably my most favorite place on Earth. It was this amazing park where the grass is actually as soft as it looks... The perfect place for a gelato break!
Okay, so that was Rome. I wish I could show you more of the pictures we took. We really worked on our photography skills over this trip, and I do believe we really have some cool photos to take away from it. Unfortunately in the short selection I have to pick for you I leave out all our artsy-fartsy attempts. Don't worry, when I get home I force you all to spend 10 hours going through the 6 months worth of pictures we'll have!
So I have now been at Whole Foods for 4 hours just uploading these few pictures. So for now I will leave it at that and put the rest of the pictures in the next post.
