No, I’ve never been to Italy, though I’ve promised a dear friend I will sip espresso with her in Venice one day. Another mutual friend from a journaling group took a trip to Rome in December and was kind enough to take numerous pictures and upload and share them. Never before have I so wanted to GO to Rome as I felt when looking through her photo album this morning. Maybe it’s the snow. Maybe it’s the lack of sun for last the umpteen days. Maybe it’s just January. Whatever the reason, the photos struck me as visually stunning, magnificent really, a feast for the soul and the eyes.
