I got back from Rome a couple days ago and it was amazing. I did a bunch of sight seeing that I think the pictures in this album can explain much better than I can.

| Rome: July 2009 |
If you ever make it to Rome, I would highly suggest going with a local. My friend Paul attends university there and took me around on his motorbike the entire week. How great is that! It gave me a great mix of touristy (Read: Colosseum) and nice finds (Read: roof-top terrace party and fresh, milky Mozzarella di Bufala.)
The days were packed and hot but enjoyable. My favorite sites were the Pantheon and this orange grove/garden on a hill overlooking the city. I cannot wait to go back.
Tomorrow, after teaching (I have Friday off this week) I'm off to do some hiking in a naturally gorgeous part, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site, of Northern Italy. Can't wait!!
Unreal Laura. I'm so happy for you, you're living out a pretty cool story right now.
