When we landed in Rome after spending 4 days in Paris, it felt like home! We are not Italians and never been to Italy before but there was this warmth, an unexplainable weird feeling going on inside us. We both said (almost at the same time) ‘we will so love it here’ and then he nodded when I said, ‘it feels like home’.
I grew up eating Indian and Indo-Chinese food. I used to apply olive oil on my face instead of pouring it on food and the first pasta I ever made had nothing al dente about the penne I used. In short, I knew nothing about Italian food until not so long ago and yet, there was this extreme contentment that I felt when we reached there.
It was like I could live there forever!
I am sure there are many of you who might feel the same about Italy and find a similar love for Italian food. Today, I not talking Italian food but sharing with you some of the snapshots from the trip we took during Thanksgiving, last year. It’s been a while and I should have shared the photos earlier but you all know how year-end always turns out to be!
We were there for four days and had planned to visit spots like Vatican City, Fontana di Trevi, Spanish Steps and of course, Colosseum. But we ended up seeing much more than that as we walked by from one destination to another, except for Vatican City, which we travelled by the local metro.
Rome would probably be the only city that we saw on foot, walking non-stop from morning to night, stopping by the cafes, several museums and churches, absorbing whatever this city had to offer us.
On the last day, we was really sad and wished we could stay here, wished we could seen more of Italy, visited local vineyards, ate more of those local oh-so-delicious Italian food and walked more cobbled streets.

Wonderdul pictures. We are deciding on our trips this year and Rome was on top of the list but reconsidering given the fact Rome will require a lot of walking. Not so sure how that would go with a toddler.
Your pictures are giving me a second thought on Rome.

You have an amazing eye for design! I have been lucky enough to visit Italy and Rome many times, but you make all the familiar spots look delightfully different. My favourite just has to be the Trinita dei Monti church atop the Spanish Steps and in sunshine: our home away from home, the Villa Hassler is just to the right of it 😀 ! Thanks for a Sunday am journey!!

Your photos are amazing! I've been to Italy but my pictures somehow do not look the same. 🙂 I especially love the ones you took at the fountain. The drops of water are awesome. Great photographer you are! Now I long to return with my camera.

I know what you mean. I had never had any desire to visit Italy, but an opportunity came up last fall and I found myself there for 10 days, 4 of them in Rome. I fell in love with the people, and especially loved how walkable Rome was. I have no doubt that I will be visiting again soon.
Your pictures have made me hope that will be soon...
