Rome, Italy

I have also been to Rome twice - once on that 2008 Study Abroad trip, and once on that 2010 cruise. Here are some of my favorite photos of Rome.


Spaghetti!

Grapes growing on a vine

Gorgeous tropical flowers


What makes Rome such a fascinating city is it's variety of architecture. Every historical era from Ancient Rome is accounted for - ancient architecture, Medieval and Renaissance cathedrals, Baroque architecture, monuments to Italian Unification, and modern buildings all live side by side.
