My vacation in Rome!

June 30, 2008

Ok so ive decided to try and post more frequent!…

A couple weeks ago the most monumental thing happened to me. I went to Rome for vacation!.. Yes Rome. Your first question is how was it!!!!!!? my reply……..beyond amazing!!!!! I saw everything from Sistine chapel inside the Vatican, to the Spanish steps, pantheon, Villa Borghese, to the Beloved Colosseum. I threw back drinks outside the Colosseum at night with a group of international students and travelers and went on a Italian pub crawl. I saw a lot of Michaelangelo’s and Caravaggio’s works of Art. I stood over Raphael’s toomb and saw where they cremated Julius Caesar. You name it i Saw it! I took a lot of pictures all available on my mypace album. It was great Truly a dream and a blessing come true. It really opened my eyes and my perspective on life. It was like I closed a chapter on a part of my life and opened up a new one.

The fulfillment of an artist is to not only attain the freedom of expressing your own art but to also be able to view, travel and appreciate the great works of others. Timeless as they are. To think that you were able to stand by actual sculptures, paintings etc made by great artists centuries before your time is nothing short of amazing..
