ITALY! (part 2) - Rome (part 1)

We stayed in Rome 5 days and didn't have nearly enough time to see even the highlights. It was wonderful and I would love to go back (for about 6 months). The first photo is in the tiny apartment we rented. The bedrooms were lofts over the living room and dining room.

My favorite thing of all in Italy was the streets and everything about them.

the alleys
street markets & shops

the balconys (you can see one on each side of this street; one is open the other is enclosed)

Another thing that caught our attention was the small cars

and small gas stations; this one is on the sidewalk.

I still have so many pictures to share-- there will be at least a couple more postings about Italy.
