There are so many great little things about Rome. The tiny picturesque weddings full of confetti, rice and pigeons; perfect little churches; and of course the wonderful, yet strange looking trees.
We've only been here a week. I've managed to grasp the fact that I'm actually in Rome and start to take the city, the Italian culture, and the art by hand. It's all so overwhelming, but being in this city for 2 months is a chance of a lifetime. I can't wait to see what I can do with it.
We're all trying to learn the language, and most Italians are helpful. We've already made mistakes, but we smile and laugh and it's all you really can do.
We've walked through the streets for hours since we've been here, rode on the crowded buses, acted like tourists and have taken a dozen pictures. We've been to the markets and sat in the cafes and drank cappuccinos. And everyday we seem to discuss getting gelato, which is a must.
The city has its great glories not found in America. And there's much much more to come...
