The highlight of my week was definitely having my friend Hannah visit. She had been back-packing around for her break and finished her trip in Rome, and I can't express how glad I am that she did. Sometimes when it's early in the morning and I've just fought my way onto a metro packed tighter than a clown car only to realize I've gotten on it going in the wrong direction, it's easy to become a little disillusioned with Rome. But then an old friend like Hannah shows up, and you can't help but feed off their energy as they see the Coliseum for the first time, or experience a picnic in Borghese, or have their first glass of red wine-a moment I'm proud to say I was there for. My point is, nothing makes the eternal city seem brand new better than good company.
Also I went into the Coliseum and explored the forum for the first time-a little overdue, but worth the wait.
and that's Molly, another fantastic explorer (and totally a blonde).
