Rome (If You Want To - Photo Heavy)

En route to Rome
Roma Termini Stazione
Rome was our third stop on the Italian leg of our trip and we loved being there. I am not quite sure if it was the special beauty of the light in this eternally vibrant city or the warm and SO welcome hosting our friends Samia, Tommaso and Valeria provided for us, but either way....it was a great chapter of our journey through Italy. We balanced touring with hanging out in their flat for a total of 4 days. There may have been more hanging out than touring, to be honest, but that is our style.
Not pictured: all the wonderful pastas Tommaso made us, because in a lucky-for-us twist, Romans cannot just simply throw some Classico from the fridge onto some noodles and call it dinner like us lazy Americans, and we had some of our most fun dinners out together with them, too.

Valeria and I have a heart to heart - and pizza donuts were involved

Hummus! Why are you so rare in an Italian grocery? We made this camping style, from a mix.

Fountains everywhere! Taken moments prior to my being happy I bought a waterproof case for my phone!

So freakin' hot standing in line for St Peter's Basilica
...but its worth it for the 25 min we spent in there, right?

St Peter's. Amazing. Look online for better pictures than we took.
