new neighborhood

June 1st.
I woke up from a nightmare and it left me feeling nervous most of my morning. I went to the garage where I had parked my bike while I was away. I come to find that they have misplaced it or someone has stolen it. I'm going with the latter. It was a pretty bicycle :( - That was my morning and my afternoon didn't get any better. lack of communication always gets me into the worst of situations. After that found its resolve I packed my things up from Eleonora's. If you haven't seen this beautiful foodies blog do yourself a favor and check out her website which will be undergoing a makeover soon. So, I packed bags, stepped out and hailed a cab. If you know about my cab rides you'll remember how they are always memorable, always. This cab driver, Dominico, scraped a wall getting me to my destination to which he replied with a "Va be... Non mi piaceva quella parte della macchina" which translates to, "Oh, well... I didn't like that side of the car, anyway"

As he turns the corner to my street I look up and see the Colosseum. It's one of those moments I remember having the first time I moved to Rome; It almost feels like a mirage. Here I am, in what I'm finding to be one of the sweetest neighborhoods in Rome. Last year around this time I was determined to return. I was going to shoot weddings and live in Rome for the summer. Dreams fulfilled are what life is about. As my dreams are taking a different path I'm confident in my heart that whatever they may be, they will be.

I leave you with a few images from around the corner. I was so excited I threw my bags down and headed out with my camera while there was still light. Lucky for me it doesn't get dark here until around 9pm.
