Shenanigans Abroad

What is better than spending the day with your best friend in an unforgettable city? Maybe throw in a break for espresso, of course! These photos I have selected from the National Geographic site are from the Rome.   Italy is an enthralling place--its history, architecture, art, cuisine, and people!


I think that this first scene is the epitome of the quintessential Roman experience.  I looked at this photo and decided that these two were probably Italian, out in the hustle and bustle of their home city Rome.  There is something interesting about looking at a photo strangers, but from it you can learn a lot.


An Italian, urban lifestyle, displayed in this photo, is so different from the life I’ve lived in the United States.  These girls are obviously comfortable navigating around their beloved city of Rome.  I like that the photographer

 selected a black and white finish for these chic ladies, though I’m sure they and the trendy shops behind them are flooded with color.  I can’t wait until I get to go to Italy and see all of this in person!


And, I just had to include this second picture because it is also taken in Rome.  An Italian sips her espresso in a outdoor cafe.  Just as the girls from the motorbike, this kind of special Roman experience is something that makes our world wonderful!  I rejoice that God has given us these different ways to just relax, be with friends, and experience the city around us--even in Rome.
