Mr. Bradley, if you don't mind my saying so, I think you are a ringer.


For those who know me at all, I'm a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn. I'm the type of fan that knows Roman Holiday came to theaters in 1953 and she won an Academy Award for it. Gregory Peck also told William Wyler to put her name above the title with his because he knew that she would become famous.


So I am still in shock when I turn a corner and see a piazza that was in the film, when I am walking along the Tiber and see the Pont San Angelo. Where the barges she danced were at. I was also on the street Mr. Bradley's apartment was on, Via Margutta.


Now all I need to do is get on a moped and drive around the Colosseum. Well for that I would need to find a Mr. Bradley....hmm I'll keep an eye out.


While walking along the Pont San Angelo, there was a bride and groom taking photos with the Vatican in the background. I was thinking, I could live here. I could get married in Rome. I could figure out how to be a psychologist in Rome. I'm sure it's crazy hard. But Rome makes this lasting impression on you. You never forget the way you feel when you see the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, or the Spanish Steps for the first time. It's impossible not be in love with this city and it's way of life. The food is amazing, the people are incredibly nice (don't listen to a thing about Europeans hating Americans, it's not true) and I could really get used to the siesta from 1 to 4 in the afternoon and everyone taking off for the month of August for the beach.


I love Rome. I would stay here all year if I could...if I could graduate on time, and work on my psychology major.


It would be stupid to stay here all year.........right?




Just a thought


Ciao Bella
