The Italian capital Rome is an amazing city. As the birthplace of modern civilization, Rome is dotted with hundreds of historical monuments to explore. Like the olden days, Romans today are extremely friendly and welcoming to tourists. Almost every street seems to have at least one Church and many of them hundreds of years old. For Americans who are accustomed to the same corporate junk everywhere they go within the country Rome and Italy in general is a breadth of fresh air to say the least. In this post let me share with you some of the photos from a trip.
