If Paris was my first love, then Rome is the one that got away – the timing, the flights, I could never make things work out the way I wanted them to and so, in spite of the fact that I began planning my first trip to Italy when I was eighteen and just out of high school, I did not make it there until the week before my twenty-seventh birthday last September. Better late than never, I think – I fell so in love with Rome that I had to go back again this summer; I love the way the city looks just like it did in all the old movies I watched growing up. I love the history and the architecture and, perhaps most of all, I love the food. If I haven’t been, all I can say is go, go, go!
Si Paris fut mon premier amour, alors Rome fut celui qui m’a échappé – le moment, les horaires de vol, rien n’a jamais fonctionné comme j’aurais voulu et donc, malgré le fait que j’ai commencé à planifier mon premier voyage en Italie a l’âge de dix-huit ans, je n’ai mis mes pieds sur la terre italienne que l’année dernière, une semaine avant mon vingt-septième anniversaire. Mieux vaut tard que jamais – j’ai tombé tellement amoureuse de Rome qu’il a fallu que j’y retourne cet été; j’adore le fait que la ville ressemble tout à fait au Rome que je connais depuis les films. J’adore l’histoire et l’architecture et, surtout, la nourriture. Si vous n’y avez jamais visite, je vous le conseil très fortement.
Oh I LOVE ROME. Haven't been for the last three years and am now aching to go back. Rome was my first solo trip in Europe and a simply magical city to discover on my own. I thought I would be lonely but it was just too distracting and romantic to think of anything else besides how beautiful it is. Your pictures really capture it.
Okay, I desperately want to go back to Rome now. I'm thinking of a 2-3 week trip to Europe in the next year or so and was thinking I'd stick to Scotland, northern England, and France but I think I may need to shuffle things and try for 2-3 days in Rome. Plus it will give me an opportunity to put my sub par Italian skills to work!
grom is my favorite place for ice cream!! Love vanilla madagascar flavor! beautiful pictures! makes me wanna go there:) kisses from Milano http://sienastyle.blogspot.it
Beautiful! Rome is one of the top places I want to visit! Seeing these pictures makes me want to hop on a plane right now! If I didn't have school and if I did have money, I would pack a bag and go! I want to ride one of those scooters and eat gelato! ~Sara
Rome is truly a stunning city, I love the food there, everything and evertwhere is so delicious, the air you breath there is dreamy and the architecture is so impressive! Glad you enjoy it, you just made me want to come back there soon since I miss it from many years now:) Marvelous photos dear! Have a lovely evening, bisous! xo
Aaaaaaaah tu me fais rêver avec tes photos de Rome, il faut que j'y aille pour découvrir ses merveilleux vestiges et l'architecture des bâtiments, tu as du passer un merveilleux moment, bisous 🙂
Those are some stunning colours carrying me through those pics, Cee! What a way to celebrate your 27th! (I've just realised we're the same age). Must be a beautiful memory made. I'm looking forward to my trip with the boy to Cyprus in a few weeks – turns out I'll be there for my 28th bday 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend, lovely lady xx
We visited Rome a few years ago and I love the way it's so easy to view the city on foot. Amazing too that around every corner there's yet more stunning architecture. It has so much to offer! Beautiful photos especially the first and the last – the colour of those buildings is stunning. I'm sure we will return.
It's funny, I think I am the only person in my family who has never been to Italy, it just hasn't worked out yet, I was always somewhere else. haha.Sad, since I lived so close to there. Stunning images Cee, its always lovely to see detailed glimpses of the historical buildings.
I've never been but from your pictures it looks like I'm missing out. The colours of the building ti the food and history is just stunning. For a girl who works in the Travel insdustry Ihaven't travelled a lot. Shame on me.
your B-U-tiful eyes have seen so many glorious sights while on this year sojourn through Europe. Cee, you've had the best of the bests that any Paris loving girl could either dream or imagine – the words it's a wonderful life speak to this experience for you in every way!!
Italy was life changing for me too, it's such a special place and i'm thrilled you got to go back there again. way to make every second count lades!! xo ♥
such amazing photography (again!!) 🙂 i am so intrigued as to who is behind the lens when these have been taken?? you or Ian? not that it really matters but i just would like to put a face on the oh-so-great-photographer, haha! Rome is on my list to go next year! and our Aussie holiday is slowly approaching! 🙂
Thank-you so much for all of your kind and thoughtful comments, my darlings! xox, Cee

I wish I were in Rome right now!! That first photo is so beautiful, I hope it ends up framed on your wall.
You are so lucky you've been there twice, even if it's not as much as you'd like, it's twice as much as I've been.
Gorgeous shots, love all of the food!
