lost and found in Italy

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

ITALY | Friday, 7 December 2012 | Views [310] | View Larger Image

My cousin was my travel companion on this dream trip to Italy. We always said we would go one day and decided after we graduated from college that we would treat ourselves to Italy. One thing Italy taught me was to enjoy a good wine.....and that we did. I arrived in Italy never having had a glass of wine to returning to the States with four bottles!

This photograph was the moment that it hit me. I was actually in Italy, standing in front of the Colosseum. I did it. I was seeing, touching, feeling history. Looking at a piece of art that seems impossible for its age. It was an ugly day in Rome that day. Torrential downpours every few minutes. However, this made the photos come out awesome and you can really feel the story behind this masterpiece.

When I arrived back in the States everyone asked what my favorite place in Italy was. I always answered all of them, of course, but I do think Capri took my heart. The landscape itself is incredible and their is too much color to not be in a terrific mood! I will definitely make my way back to Capri someday and next time I will be in one of these boats making my way around the island. I found my sense of adventure here.
