Visuals II

so i spent the weekend in Rome and it was great. the weather was beautiful and for the first time since i've been in Italy i wasn't freezing. i got there friday morning and spent the day at the vatican. we went into the museum and st.peter's basilica and even though i'd already been, i think it had even more of an effect on me. just so ridiculous, so beautiful and decadent. that night we went out to a really fun dinner at some random restaurant. the food was soooo yummy, really legit italian. they gave us limoncello on the house (shit is strong) and then we went out to some bar called the drunken ship which was super fun. the next morning, saturday, we went to the colosseum and the pantheon which was also pretty great for the second time. then we all decided to stay an extra night so we booked a hotel and did it. we went out that night and then woke up sunday morning to take a train back to Florence...some pictures:

the Laocoon was beautiful.

detail of the foot...seriously?

Belvedere torso. not gonna lie, i got choked up. it was just too insane seeing it in person.

my friend Annie taking a picture in a hall with a bunch of random sculptures.

i love this. it looks like these guys are just having a casual convo about something in the paper.

a detail of the above...

school of athens, no biggie.

st.peter's basilica. it's so huge, look at how tiny the people are in the background.
