That Time I Went to Rome | Part I

Holy crap, I just spent so much time trying to get the spaces between the pictures nice and even and it still isn’t perfect. Gahh.. oh well.

I’m finally trying to post some pictures from my Europe trip this summer. Dave’s brother, Drew, got married in Tuscany in June. Stephanie and I went out about a week before and she showed me around a few different parts of Italy. First up, was ROME:)

I was so excited to see Rome. The first thing we did was went to the Colosseum. We did a tour with a guide and headset and it was probably the worst tour we have ever been on haha. He was boring and I could hardly hear. So I just walked around trying to remember what I had learned about it in school many many years ago. So cool.

I recently learned how to do these panoramas and it is a game changer in photographing the whole landscape while traveling.

It’s always so good to be in Europe. I’ve been quite a few times in the last several years and now I crave it! Also, can’t go on a trip with a Steiner without getting a Magnum bar.

It’s always a weird feeling going somewhere I’ve seen many pictures of. It’s always so much different than I think. There were sooo many people at the Trevi Fountain (I did expect that tho..).

Hehe. Missing my David I guess..

These two pictures above were from the Vatican. That huge bath was Nero’s and back in the day it would have been as expensive as if it was made of diamonds in our day(!!!!). At least that is what the tour guide said, and you never really know how much you can trust them.

There were so many people in Vatican City. That’s probably the whole theme of Rome. Crowded. Also, I’m glad I got a photo of the Pieta. I really didn’t know what it was at the time. I didn’t even go up closer than that photo and now I’m way bummed because I learned it’s quite famous. I probably would have had to throw a few elbows to get any closer anyways..

For some reason one of my very favorite parts of Rome was this square. Piazza Navona.
