I miss this kid.

 Just came across all these pics on my computer.

They made me smile.

Can you say struggle city???

Don't get me wrong. 

I love Romania...like loooooove it. 

But.

Maybe some quality snuggle time

and a few maybe a lot  of kisses every night from this boy would make Romania 

that. much. better.

Sure do miss my B-man.

Romanian Blog up and running!

 

Chuh chuh check it out.

There's no place like rome...

I brought Toms to wear around Italy. 

However, I didn't break them in before I left. 

Killlllled my feet the first day I wore them. 

So I resorted to my good ol' red vans. 

Dorthy style.

Errrrday.

So.

Enjoy my trip through Italy. 

Via vans. 

Museums. Crowds. Famous stuff. Stairs.

You name it. 

Vans did it. 

Holla.
Special thanks to J Jules and Becca Baby for taking pics.
I couldn't have done it without them.

......

Made it to Romania literally 30 minutes ago. 

It's great.

Can't wait to tell you all about it!!!

Romanian blog starts tomorrow...check there for updates. 

Okie dok?!

Rome day dos

Kids. I'm supes tired.

I feel like I have done a months worth of stuff in a week. 

How many steps have I taken?

Enough to walk across the ocean. 

And back! 

Probably.

But hey. I'm soaking up every second of it.

Today? Spanish Steps and The Vatican.

We're all soooo sick of taking pictures.
And smiling in them.

So we goofed off today. 

It might also be due to the fact that we found ourselves in another, yes another...

prepare yourself...

yes.

a Museum.

  //Sistine Chapel//

 //St. Peter's Basilica//

Dear B. 

Sorry about the pic with a hot italian boy. 

But he was BEGGING me to take one with him.

So I had to. 

Xoxoxo

Rik.

Gladiator Stadium.

Hit the Colosseum and The Forum today. 

Just enjoy the pics, aight?

The iPhone successfully took all of these. 

Seriously wish I had my nice camera for today though. 

It was incredible!

It was a feast for the eyes.

Unreal. 

That's basically the only word I can use.

And maybe tiring. 

Aka: reeeally tiring. 

This is how we felt the entire day. 

Faces not faked.

I think a week of non-stop everything is wearing on us. 

One more full day tomorrow.

Then we're off to Romania! 

:)

I can't wait. 

The prettiest place in all the land.

Siena is my favorite. 

My absolute favorite. 

We spent our time eating while overlooking the city.

Buying gelato and finding places to overlook the city.

Talking on our hotel balcony while overlooking the city.

and basically overlooking the city. 

We wandered the city too...

But I think one of my favorite memories of all of Italy will be sitting on my bed in Siena at night. 

The balcony doors open. 

Writing in my journal.

The city below me.

Listening to people play music on the streets. 

Kids playing soccer.

Without the noisy noise of a million tourists. 

It's how I have always imagined Italy to be. 

I didn't want to leave my hotel balcony. 

Not for one single second.
