Farmer’s market everyday! The strawberry’s are a strange shape here but they taste something amazing…

I have seen 5 McDonalds and one Burger King. There is a McDonalds directly across from the Pantheon….really America? Is that necessary?

Panini! Panini! Less than $3 for a fresh delicious panini, it’s heaven. Did I say fresh? I will never want to eat another $7 not completely fresh sandwich in the states again.

There are fountains and parks everywhere. Gorgeous fountains. The sound of the water flowing makes my heart beat faster. I am a being of the water and it is necessary to my survival. You can drink right out of most of them. Fresh water flowing all throughout the city. The Trevi fountain was my favorite sight in Rome.

Many people know English and they appear to be helpful but really they just pretend to know the answer to your question and may lead you to keep walking in circles.

There are some strange looking dogs here…and allergies exist here too. Hah. Sneeze.

Young Romans confess their love to each other by writing something meaningful on a lock and locking it to the bridge. How romantic. I love it.

Walk, walk, walk, walk. I’ve never walked so much in my life. It has to be so good for you. I went to sleep every night with my legs aching and feet killing. Burning through 2 pairs of socks a day, that’s what happens when you walk more than 6 hours a day.

We saw the Pope, and he give mass in 5 different languages.

Never pay the street market price, they make bank on Americans that don’t know any better than to make deals.

I could live there if there was more water. But the river is kind of nasty. If it was clean, and clear and more life revolved around it, I would be all over it.

The drivers here are insane, especially the scooters. I was pretty sure every other scooter/car was going to hit me. One was only a few inches away. I think the safest means of transportation rank something like this: train, tram, bus, walking, biking, car, scooter.

That’s all I can recall at the moment….maybe more to come later. I took tons of holga photos and even some 35mm…more photos to come soon!
