The Eternal City... eternal friendships.....

Rome: here I come again!!!

Kalle and I in front of Fontana di Trevi!
I must admit I visited Rome in 2000 cause I wanted to take a long vacation away from home (in Europe) and I had several friends to visit there, not because the town attracted me by itself. The first time I visited Rome I was 11 years old and didn't like it that much. But I must tell you that I fell in love with it during my visit in 2000 and I didn't think I'd go back soon, but I had the wonderful chance of spending a couple of days there in July 2007, yay!! It's a city I definitely recommend for everyone to visit and enjoy!!

Rome became a clean and better organized city after the Jubilee celebrations in 2000, and it's a delight to visit it although it can also be a quite chaotic city. I hope that the tips I could collect during the month I lived there and this most recent short visit will be helpful for someone. Enjoy your trip! And know that I ENVY YOU all guys who will be able to go there soon! :)

NOTE: Special thanks to all my friends who hosted me in Rome in 2000: Roxy and family (Sheila too!), Aurora, Laura and parents (Russi family), Simone and Malizia family, because all of them showed me MOST of the things you will see published on this page. Thanks to my dear Finnish friend Kalle as well for contributing with many of the pictures you will see on this page, starting with the one above!

In A Nutshell:"History, culture, warmth, sun, ice cream, traffic chaos.... a bit of everything!!"
