Day 2- Rome

Day 2 was spent in Rome, a city with an extremely long history filled with romantics (think "Roman Holiday"), gore (refer to "Gladiator" and "Ben Hur"), and opulence (see Luisa Via Roma). Oh yeah, and don't forget the Vatican ("The Godfather III," also known as Sofia Coppola's tragic acting debut).

Inside the museum, sweeping staircases make me swoon.

Mother running with children from the molten lava from Pompeii? Or maybe a reference to King Harrod killing all the newborn before the birth of Jesus? So many stories could stem from this.

TOURISTS! Near the Spanish piazza.

Whoever said that The Yellow in Rome was a designer hostel was sorely mistaken. Three spray painted stencils of Gorbachev is not decor. Also, Che is dead. Get over it.

  3. Ouch who told you to stay there?! But to be fair, that looks like all the other hostels I've ever stayed in. The one I stayed in while in Rome didn't have any kind of locked doors or locks and I was grateful I owned nothing of value at the time.

    And despite our conversations pre-trip, these shots you took look like you had an amazing time.
