ROMA!
so i just got back from rome late last night.
NOT ROME AVENUE FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ME, BUT ROME, AS IN THE CITY IN ITALY.
it was nice, very small, but i liked it a lot. we stayed at some hotel in the center of town and took the metro. i saw the colloseum, the pantheon, the roman forum and the ruins, the trevi fountain, the freaking sistine chapel!, the vatican, st. peter's, the tomb of the fallen soldier, and the jewish museum and the jewish ghetto in rome. it was so freaking sick.
rome was lovely. there were free fountains everywhere to fill up water bottles to stay hydrated. i had some really damn good bruschetta and pizza and potatoes and tomatoes and everything was just delicious. i'm getting so food-spoiled! i'm never going to eat when i come back to america.
i am spending 4th of july on a lovely island called sardinia. i will be flying into the airport on the coast and staying a block away from the beach in alghero. my boyfriend will be there along with cynthia, a bunch of other people from the program here, and one of our friends who is studying in genova. we will rent a speedboat, i hope.
we are trying to plan a weekend to rent a vespa and go driving around the hills of tuscany. we want to drive through the olive trees and maybe over to do a wine tasting in chianti. you know, where they make all that chianti wine that is only made IN italy IN chianti. that'd be really awesome. and hopefully we can visit capri? i'd really like that.
i've been doing some street photography, and i'm impressing myself with how good i'm getting at it. i thought i was a straight up studio/location girl only and none of this available light stuff. we shall see. rome has been photographically successful for me. i am trying to plan a shoot soon with some of the girls here, some beauty stuff with available light. maybe i will do it tomorrow. yes. that seems like a great plan. also, i'm getting to be better at painting. who the hell would have thought??
i'm going to go read about michelangelo on our terrace. ooh la la fancy me.
I MISS EVERYONE A LOT - ESPECIALLY BROOKLYN AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT! keep me posted on the things you guys are doing please please please and postcards will be sent out this week!
