In 2013 I met my parents in Rome for the beginning of an epic European roadtrip. Some family friends of ours from Paris described the city as a “village” and I can see what they meant – everything is fairly walkable. And everything is also fairly ancient. Around every corner you might encounter a 2,000 year old structure or a dig site. It was really impressive. The city has a fairly warm (and worn) coloration to most of the built environment, so I tried to keep that in mind while editing these photos.
First night in Rome…what else to do but hang out with the locals outside of the Colosseum.

Well that’s it for my Roman excursion. I can’t wait to get back one day and indeed I think it would be cool to live there for a year.
