Update in Pictures (2)

I know it's only a few days since my first update in pictures but the actual photographs themselves were taken a couple weeks apart. So here's some more photos!


I finally went to see Piazza del Popolo. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was by myself but it was still a great sight. The street between these two buildings ends at Piazza Venezia and the monstrosity that is "Il Vittoriano".



Piazza Navona. Every day it is pretty cold and rainy during these months, so when there's a lot of sunlight it's something to appreciate. The light throws shadows from all the different statues, fountains, cupola's and terraces and it is truly a beautiful thing.


I guess a picture of a picture is a pretty lame thing to post here, but this event itself is pretty noteworthy. While I was missing the snowstorm of my lifetime back home, it snowed here for the first time in 25 years. And I slept through it. I wish I could have captured this photo myself, but I guess the early bird catches the one-in-a-million snowstorm.


This is a more personal picture. Every day I grab an 80 cent cappucino from the "Archi Bar" across the street from my school. It's definitely one of my favorite places in all of Rome. The owners are incredibly nice to us students, and the seating has an amazing ambience with the arches (hence the name) that stand in front of my school rising out of the background. I'm not really a coffee lover per se, but I am a big fan of warm and social atmospheres.

This photo captures my first day of fiction in the city. Thanks to a very clutch loan from my friend Greg, I can enjoy "The Three Musketeers" as a part of my experience here.

More coming soon...

Ciao!
