Pics from Rome

This is mostly going to be a picture blog. This was back in 2004 for my 17th birthday. It was one of my most memorable trips, spent with my family and my best friend! Half the time in Rome, half the time in Venice!

The night before we left for our trip there was a giant celebration going on in Rome called "La Notte Bianca", or, "The White Night". Modeled after a similar holiday in Paris, it is a night where basically the entire city stays out and celebrates. There were tons of entertainment and cultural event…

i(nat) knew previously that rome was one of my favorite cities, and it still is, but it's now tying very closely with some others. spent the first night checking out the vatican all lit up and gorgeous.on the 22nd we visited the wedding cake in the a.m., then spent an entire day at the vatican and…

After leaving the Domus Aurea we went in search of the Holy Stairs or the Scala Sancta, which are located near the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano (Basilica of St. John Lateran). The Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterno is the official seat of the Bishop of Rome aka The Pope and is a very gran…

In July of 2001, shortly before the September 11 terrorist attacks, I embarked on my first overseas journey -- to Rome, Italy. It was a 4-day trip hampered by nagging stomach problems and oppressive heat. But I managed to catch one disease for which there is no cure: the travel bug.

This past June, I traveled to Italy and Slovenia on business, but was luckily able to work in some great sightseeing and vacation time along the way too! We started in Rome, which was so amazing. The history and architechture there is incredible....from the Colleseum and the ruins, the Pantheon, Tr…

Arrived in Rome with a full day ahead of us.  We headed to the tourist office and made reservations for the Vatican Tour.  Then we purchased the 3 Day Rome pass at one of the Tabacco Stores back at the train station, it was totally worth it because it covers the metro and admission t…

Tina and I Went to Ireland, Wales, England, Switzerland, France and Italy in June 2007. It was just as much fun planning the trip as it was being there, If anyone needs tips just let us know we did tons of research especially on rail travel in England and Europe, We are hoping to go again someday but you know how that goes!!! maybe we will win the lottery

Bella Roma, an amazing city with famous historical sights around every corner, it just blew my mind how we could be strolling down a normal city street, glance down a little side street, and the Colosseum is just right there in front of you! Getting around on foot was so much more fun than taking t…

I set off by myself today to go see the Vatican, since Saida and I didn't go in on our walk the day before. The girls wanted to go shopping, and I wasn't really into that. The museum is very large, much larger than I expected. I was also surprised to see art that was not religious inside the museum…

What can i say about this day trip to Rome. We got up early since the train ride would take us a number of hours gosh how i wish i had owned an iPod back then haha the only portable fun we had was my sons Game Boy and that was not in my hands only his beloved treasure at that time,but it saved me f…

We arrived in Roma late in the afternoon. Because this was my 4th time in Rome i knew the city center a little and fortunately that helped us finding our hotel very quickly. We could park our car around the corner in the parking of another hotel so we didn't have to spend hours finding a parki…
