So many beautiful churches!

If you look closely, you’ll see that nearly every window has laundry hanging out to dry. So cute!

Markets and Vespa delivery boys

I wanted this man to draw my face so bad…

The Spanish Steps, presided over by James Bond, and gated-off for restorations

The magnificent Trevi Fountain! Covered in scaffolding and drained to the pit! (I still made a wish and threw in a coin. Tehe.)

The Pantheon. Spent a lot of time around this area (:

Some hunky gladiators trying earn a few euros

Largo di Torre Argentina ruins, right next to our hotel and swarming with cats day-and-night

Paintingggggssss! I bought the right one for myself (Piazza Navona) and the left one for Jackson, provided I don’t decide to keep it later

The view from my hotel window. I made faces at the people across the street all the time. This is the first time I’ve every had a window that looked into someone else’s window!

Just a really pretty door (:

Posing in the old meat-packing district, literally the only quiet part of all the Rome we saw

The cemetery for non-Catholics… Because that is a thing in Rome.

Pyramid of Cestius

A beautiful Roman manor house

The “keyhole of Rome.” My phone wouldn’t focus in on the light, but you could see a beautiful view of St. Peter’s Basilica and the surrounding city all the way at the end of those hedges

Rome from up top!

Circus Maximus, where the Romans used to hold chariot races (I really wanted to run down there)

The Mouth of Truth–line was too long to actually test my lying abilities

My dream bike, if ever I live in Rome, Tuscany, or Amsterdam. *sigh

The beautiful Forum Romanum!

St. Peter’s Basilica (this is when it first started to rain)

Posing with Abbi and Nynika

Inside the Basilica

Bernini’s Bronze Baldachin

Ceeeeeiliiiiiingssss….

Trying to convey just how large this cathedral was (impossible)

A few thousand chairs to seat a few thousand people to see the one-and-only Pope

Okay. I’ll continue in another post, so as not to drown you!
