I love Italy, and this was my third visit to Rome. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful city (and all of Italy – from the top to the bottom of the heel is amazing).
There is a saying about Rome – that if you lived there your entire life there, you would not see everything. For historians, this is a mecca. For everyone, its majestic.
This time, my prerogative was to see my friends, but I managed to slip in some cultural sights too – Saint Peters and several beautiful fountains and streets.

I walked from my hotel (on via Cola di Rienzo) over a bridge to the Spanish steps. Then to the Trevi fountain. It was packed with tourists so I recommend to go early!
About twenty years ago, I met a lady – Roberta, in India. Immediately I felt comfortable with her company. She is one of my tribe. We have kept in touch over the years and I have seen her on my visits to Rome. Meeting again was like no years had passed and we shared stories, about our friends, our travels and Netflix recommendations. It was just as we had seen each other yesterday.
Also I had another dear friend there – Giovanna. I wanted to catch up with who was in Rome for three months and is originally from Colombia. We met in flamenco classes in Madrid. She is very interesting person. Trained phycologist and wonderful dancer too. I was with her and her family for Christmas for 2017 in Colombia.
