Buildings. They have tons of giant, huge, humongous old monuments, ruins, government offices l, churches, palazzos and fountains. It’s a city of oversized pundaka-buildings. And I loved each and every one of them. A bit tired from walking up and down to them and around them though.
Rome is a city of history. It was its own empire. Julius Caesar, Hadrian, Trajan, Nero, Caligua, Constantine, all had to have more more more. So the bigger the building the better, I guess. But the art work, the skill and workmanship of them all is still to this day amazing.
And then there was just the time we spent wandering around the streets in awe and enjoying everything. Wandering is a nice way to say getting lost on the way to or fro. But we don’t think of it as “lost,” we think it is an addition to our journey, an extra adventure, and/or life leading us to explore.
This post does not truly relay Roma to you. You are dwarfed by giants, but feel at one with them. You are surrounded by beauty and feel so yourself. You are home in a way only an ancient city can welcome you.
Until next time, Roma, we have so much more to see. Would love to get to know you better.
Speaking of getting to know someone better…the next post is about getting to know long lost strangers. Family from my grandfather’s home.
Thank you for joining me and MY GNOME LITTLE WORLD along this travel journey.
