Hi Lovey,
Now you know why I want to travel so much and I became such a history buff. After you fall in love with places like Rome, Capri, Paris, St. Tropez, England and other places, you appreciate art and history at a more intense level. Your desciptions of what you see are so beautiful, moving and are great insights. It is what I want to say when I look at these great sites but I just can’t put the beauty I am seeing into words like you. I want to go back to ROME! Pick me up at the airporto pronto!!!! Ciao Bella!!!

Wow, it sounds beautiful! I have traveled a lot in my life from growing up in Southeast Asia, but I have never been to Rome. I think I have fallen half in love with it already from reading this post.

This was great reading! I loved your excitement and you sound EXACTLY like I did when I was in Rome. I couldn’t believe that around every corner there was another amazing, and unbelievably old structure. I already miss it and I was just there in April! Can’t wait to go back!

I had a similar feeling walking through Paris. I went during the summer so it was understandably busy and yet because every corner you turn seems to hold some beautiful statue, some ancient carving, some relic, so it didn’t seem nearly as crowded. You can actually walk right up to these pieces of history and be all alone. Except the Mona Lisa. There you’re standing with a couple of hundred photo-snapping, fanny-pack wearing art critics and there is no getting away from it.

I love how much you’re falling for the city. Just wait ’til you see the rest of Europe – it’s pretty much all like that! Well, except for Birmingham. And Hull.

Isn’t it funny how much your environment shapes your experience, your attitude and even your ability? People often forget how important environment is.

More power to you Jamie, keep lapping it all up.

SO glad you are enjoying (understatement) your time in Roma. I was there years ago – wish we’d had more time to explore. Hope you get to see some of the other cities, too. Florence is TO DIE FOR.

You are making me want to hop right on a plane and get over there. Your descriptions are beautiful, and that sounds like a fabulous place!

Thank you for the loverly pictures and bits about Roma. I am missing it desperately. Spent a month there this summer, and will hopefully be coming back this late winter/early spring. Wonder what’s up at the Risorgimento? It wasn’t all covered with blue tarps when I was there — yet more restoration, I guess I especially love the photo of the street with the rainy cobblestones. How I would love to see Roma in the rain, and just wander the streets with my ragazzo.

Grazie!
