(granted I was still on the plane today)
Legend says that if you stand with your back to the Trevi Fountain and toss a coin over your left shoulder, you will one day return to the Eternal City. Simple enough. As I tossed the coin I couldn't help but make a wish. I hope it comes true. What I do have control over though is that I will return to Rome.
Here are some photographs I took: (click images to enlarge)
Romance in Rome can be found easily. All around me there were couples strolling around; arms linked, holding hands, lucky to be sharing in the beauty that this city can't help but show off. It reminded me of what I was missing and who I was missing and I enjoyed my cioccolato gelato guilt-free while they had their kisses :)
Beware, love follows you all around in Italy!

My husband and I had gone there after residency, about 3 years ago. Unfortunately, it was the heat wave summer, when even London was in the low 100's. We spent the afternoons watching Italian music videos or CNN on TV. My favorite was the old ruins, including the Colosseum. I took Classics in college, and it was so neat to be standing in the middle of the an ancient civilization. Did you get a chance to travel North to Cinque Terra or Portofino? It was gorgeous.
transience :: good, i'm glad you save me the trouble of having to ask :) i'll let you know when you can start packing ;)
gulnaz :: yes venice was my favorite!!! i recommend you go when you are in the brinks of falling in love and of course bring em along :) if you'd like to see the photographs from there just click on the flickr window on the right side, those are all the pictures i took of Venice. thanks!
anil :: i love how you said that - "soak in the air heavy with history"- it was great too! i want to go to London!!
mermaid :: i bet going to ancient rome was an even better experience having had all the background you had. there is nothing more surreal then standing somewhere and knowing its history. i'll post a few of my favorites from there soon.
i didn't go to Cinque Terra or Portofino, i guess i can when i return.
oh wow! that must have been some trip! the pictures are amazing! makes me wanna go to rome as well.
