When I look outside, I see a cold and dark morning. Unfortunately
it is Monday, my autumn break is over and I will have to go to work again. I do
not really want to take the 6.40 am bus to Amsterdam and spend my day teaching in
a cold school.
Instead, I long to be in Rome, sitting in the sun at
the Spanish Steps, drinking espresso in that restaurant in the streets behind
Piazza Navona, looking over the rooftops in different shades of ocher and red,
visiting the beautiful churches, or the remains of ancient history.
And so, just to cheer me up, here are some of the
pictures I took when I visited Rome last August. These photographs take me back
there and make me remember those wonderful days in the most amazing city in the
world.
