mini breaks!

All my classes finished last week! All I have left to do is write my dissertation, so I thought it would be good to get some travelling in before I start writing. I had originally planned on just going to Stockholm for the weekend, but my friend convinced me to go to Rome with her for a few days! (Really, it took about 5 minutes before I was sold on the idea.)

Stockholm was gorgeous! I think it is one of my favourite places I have ever been. All the canals and water ways made for some lovely cityscapes. I also found a new favourite gallery! Check out  Fotografiska if you ever visit. I think the Helena Blomqvist series was my favourite on display at the moment. >>  Fotografiska Website

I thoroughly enjoyed Stockholm, but then I headed to Roma and was overwhelmed with all my old feelings of Italy being the best place on earth! I had forgotten how much I loved it and how resentful I am that I was not born there! haha =) I got to go back to the Coloseum, the Roman Forum, St Peter's Basilica and many other wonderful places-including my favourite gelateria Della Palma!! So exciting to have gelato in my life again (even if it was for a brief period!)

 
Now on to finishing my individual project and writing my dissertation!
