 I’m not sure if I have or not.  More than anything I feel like I have left little bits of myself along the way, in Florence, the Netherlands, and I’m now preparing to leave a bit of myself here in Rome, alongside the Trevi Fountain.</p>http://annikatravelseurope.tumblr.com/post/26027669660http://annikatravelseurope.tumblr.com/post/26027669660Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:17:32 -0400<img

transportation system is SUPER confusing, and there are all sorts of rules and laws that I&#8217;m pretty sure I would violate if I hadn&#8217;t been told about them.  For example, you need to buy a bus ticket either at a newsstand or a Tabacchi shop, not at the bus stop. Although some ending stations do have ticket machines.  But don&#8217;t count on it.  You can also sometimes buy a ticket on the bus, but again, only sometimes.  So don&#8217;t count on it.  At least it&#8217;s not as busy as some of the Boston busses at rush hour.  And there are no Red Sox fans to deal with, which is nice.  </p>http://annikatravelseurope.tumblr.com/post/24074448197http://annikatravelseurope.tumblr.com/post/24074448197Wed, 30 May 2012 14:58:58 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t06orXCv1r7bnp0o7_500.jpg"/><br/> Tomb of Raphael<br/><br/> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shepaintswithwords.tumblr.com/post/24018704714/the-pantheon-this-is-definitely-the-highlight">shepaintswithwords</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>THE PANTHEON!!!!!

For me that is always the hardest part of the flight. I have pictures of the flight, but I can&#8217;t post them. For some reason Tumblr isn&#8217;t allowing me to upload photos from my phone.
