DAY 13 OF THE WRITING CHALLENGE

Rome — the Funny, the Ridiculous, and My Absolute Favorite

Rome, in six-word captions

In May, I saw Rome on foot. If I could make one recommendation to anyone wanting to experience her, look beyond the tourist attractions. Grab your most sturdy walking shoes, your camera, and your water bottle, and dig into the subtle nuances that have made this city my favorite.

Instead of lengthy (and, to me, boring) descriptions of the images, I will use six-word captions of the sometimes ridiculous first thoughts that floated up when I took the photo.

Here goes:

Happiness is seeing Rome on foot and feeling like the luckiest girl alive.
