roman holiday.

after a few months south of the equator, 

i decided to fly north for the spring and visit my other love, europe, again. 

my dear friend hannah met up with me in barcelona, and we've been adventuring ever since!

today we experienced rome for the first time,

and i must say... i'm impressed! 

i love how everything is so authentically italian here (minus the "gladiators" posing outside the coliseum waiting for the foolish tourist).

there really are rows and rows of vespas lining the streets and gelato shops on every corner!

and the pizza and pasta... to die for! 

after one day, we're a little bit smitten with this place,

and reallly reallly smitten with the food.

here's to a weekend of self-indulgence, michelangelo, and finding the perfect gluten-free pizza.
