Forget cramped airlines, crappy airline food, and jet lag. I traveled to Italy with a good writer friend, Ann Summerville, and we hit the streets of Rome on Saturday September 20th, running. You can't go wrong in the Piazza Navona. It is dramatic, gleaming, and a dream come true.
Bernini sculptures have to be seen in person. Pictures do not do them justice. The detail, the creativity, the story, the characters, the size - I was in awe.
So many statues, so little time. This was just day one, hour one and it got better and better. My eyes are full of beauty - Italy itself, the people, the food, the art, the history. I shall share the adventure until you scream "No more!"
