It’s been 5 years since Cécile and I first got together. To celebrate, we treated ourselves to a long weekend in Rome. Simply incredible! It was my first time there and her second, but first “real” experience of the place. Such beauty! Everywhere you turn, something else catches your eye. We took about 400 photos over the course of the trip, the best of which I’ve posted on facebook.
The photos are all taken with the iPhone – I must say, I am fairly impressed with the quality of the iPhone pics. Of course, it’s no replacement for a real camera, but I love having it handy all the time. Every time I go on a trip I either forget my camera or forget to take it out when exciting things are happening. So having a phone that also takes decent pictures is just what I need.
I shouldn’t forget to mention that another big part of our trip (as it usually tends to be, with Cécile and I) was the FOOD.
Two words :
YUMMY
Although we did visit the Basilica and see the Sistine Chapel (breathtaking, of course), my real ecstatic experience took place at Giolitti’s gelateria, where I had the most amazing pistacchiogelato of all time. I also highly recommend a little place just next to Piazza di Pietra, Antonio al Pantheon, where I devoured a scrumptious maltagliatti al tartufo nero. Delicioso!
