roaming in rome
my feet and legs are hurting after spending the last 4 days in roaming the ancient city of rome. photos can never ever capture the magnificence of rome– st peter’s basilica, the vatican museum, the sistine chapel, the colloseum, the fora romana, the columns, the arches, the cobble stones. i’m glad to have had the chance to step foot on one of the ancient seats of civilization and see these for myself:

a four-day stay is no way long enough to appreciate rome and all its splendor. one day, one day i’ll be back.

what great memories we have of Rome….you made me reminisce about them through your pics…danda danda.
you can always take off your shoes and dip them in any of the fountains in Rome…rest for the soles!

hi ruth!
long time reader, first time writer here…in a desperate effort to wean my 17 mos and 7 day old giant of a suckling, i sought some respite in that wondrous city. in the phils., we’d rather ridiculously wait eternity for a transport mode than walk 500 meters just to spare our travel-pampered derrières from moving but in rome it was different. me and my sister resolved to explore the city on foot with the exceptions of a taxi back and forth to ciampino and a bus to the vatican from via nazzionale. despite tingling and numbness in the extremities at the end of each day, it was such an exhilirating experience also checking out some interesting nooks and alleys not generally touted in the tourism page. and yes, a week isn’t long enough to experience its grandeur. viva roma!
