Rome


Rome has a very exciting train station


This gentleman appears to be in the wrong place.  At first he casually juggles the ball on his head in the middle of the intersection.  But he's not lost, because as soon as he stops and catches the ball, he walks from window to window with outstretched hands to retrieve an award for his bravery.




This is the Vittorio Emanuel building.  It is also an amazing building.  It is large, perfectly white, and built with 100's of majestic pillars.  There are also statues protruding from all sides of the building making it an excellent sight catcher.  This is a very dramatic building.  At night they light the top up blue with the statues protruding into the darkness with a blue tint.  The birds in the city all play along in the drama game by circling this monument at night.


The Trevi Fountain is beautiful.  It's so intricate and detailed.  Additionally, all of the fountains in Rome have beautiful clear blue water.  And there are many fountains.  Not only that, but throughout the city they have metal faucets that run a solid stream of delicious clean drinking water 24/7.  Their ability to provide all of those waters in ancient times contributed to their success as an empire.  The city of Rome is built on top of large limestone deposits, and the limestone acts as a natural purifier of the water.

When I saw the man locking this door I couldn't help but to take a video.  I think someone should tell him that criminals upgraded from 2-D to 3-D breaking and entering a while ago.


No matter what large city you go to, you're never far from a cheesy but fun to watch break dancing show.  Make sure to watch the guy at the 1:28 mark.
