Finally, here is the first batch of my Rome pics. Enjoy! airiddh1, hope this is a nice teaser for Rome...







The requisite Alps picture.


At the foot of the Spanish Steps.


This is the view from (near) the top of the Steps, looking towards Via Condotti, the Gucci/Armani/usual suspects street o'd00m.


Roman street at night.


At the foot of the Spanish Steps is the little house where Keats lived and died. I couldn't resist snapping this opportunistically-named shop next to it.


The exterior of Keats' house, complete with a charming Nazi symbol. Me, neither. :|


There are worse places to die, I suppose.


Fascinatingly morbid sheet of paper on which Keats designed his own tombstone. The infamous legend "Here lies one whose name was writ on water" is at the bottom of the page. More on that in a later post...


Draft of Oscar Wilde's ode to Keats, with sexy signature at the bottom right corner.


This is the room in which Keats died of consumption TB. To the right of the bed is his death mask. Um... yeah. We theorised I'm small enough to fit on that bed, but I passed on trying it out.


And the last, picturesque view from that room. No wonder those Romantics were so melodramatic.

Well, that was a fun and not-at-all morbid start, wasn't it? Tomorrow: ze colosseum and all that stuff.

God, I'm seething with jealousy. *seethes* Awesome pictures! Romantics are so gosh darned fun. Such drama queens. XD

Heehee. Thanks. More, soon. >:)

They're the best. They wrote about death, mused on death, and then died in really outlandish ways. You have to respect them.

[haydenthorne.livejournal.com]

And they were so pretty. And so slashable.

The requisite pictures of the Alps was very pretty; BUT OMG YOU'RE IN A PLANE!!! *ahem* Loved them all darling, await more.

you do mean "hazed drunken view of Roman sreet at night," don't you?

[pandorasblog]

I love these pictures! Specially the hazed drunken street at night. :D

[pandorasblog]

Or rather, what verastar99 said. I don't think the street itself is drunk...

I'm so glad you had a nice time. You were in my most favorite place on the planet. Ugh - love the pictures.

very nice pics noticed that the night pic was a little blurry does this mean you were a little worse for wear maybe?

[diana-molloy.livejournal.com]

That Rome street at night looks like it's out of Baise Moi... which yeah was a different city but.... *is quiet*

[airiddh1.livejournal.com]
