Excellent selection. When I saw the title of your post I was immediately curious about the images you would select. It seemed an impossible task but you succeeded.

Ah yes gelatos! I stayed with a lovely elderly Italian couple in Florence and everywhere we went they wanted me to try gelatos. By the end of 3 weeks I was a little bit over gelatos.

Thanks for your kind words! It’s difficult to express Rome even in pictures. Italy is just…different! Have you been to Rome?

“With my business accomplished, ah, then shall only one temple,
AMOR’s temple alone, take the initiate in.
Rome, thou art a whole world, it is true, and yet without love this
World would not be the world, Rome would cease to be Rome…”
