You know that feeling…that sensation of absolute bliss…when your smile spreads from ear to ear…so big that your eyes squint in sheer joy…when you feel like you’ve never been happier… These images…this trip to ROME gave me all the happiest of feels!
About a month ago, Peter, William & I had the most wonderful opportunity to visit Alyssa in Rome while she is studying abroad. It felt so amazing to have my loves all together for 10 days of absolute bliss.
The city of Rome is more gorgeous than I could have imagined. The way the light dances around architecture. Everywhere you turn, the light finds a way to show you the magic of this ancient city. The art…oh the ART! As a family of creatives, it was such a gift to be immersed in the history and art so thoughtfully produced hundreds & thousands of years ago with such a discerning eye for detail and craftsmanship... a different era when people dreamed and created on a grander scale.
We absorbed every ounce of Roman culture, often wondering if the people of Rome thoroughly grasped the gifted city that they call home. Everything we touched and were touched by had an impact on us. The kindness of the people and their contentment in everyday life was palpable.
Aside from the art and architecture the food was amazing! Each day we filled our tummies with the most delicious pastas, meats, cheeses, gelato…you name it we ate it! Perhaps one of the most delightful experiences was taking a cooking class, making our own pastas and learning the secrets of the 3 Roman sauces.
You’ve heard the saying, “Rome was not built in a day”...now I can see why! Perhaps one of the greatest gifts that came from that was the laid back culture of the city, allowing time to flow and to flow with it rather than racing and chasing.
Ciao Bella!
