you last heard from me in june, when i was about to leave with my girlfriend, the indominatable mlle. laine, for europe. six weeks, seven destinations, eleven plane rides: we're back. it wasn't quite a whirlwind tour, since we had about a week to soak up each place, except for lisbon.
i am preparing ten threads that i will post in august and september. this is the third
KILGORE IN EUROPE :: Photo Schedule
01 -- LONDON (Part One)
02 -- PARIS (Part One)
03 -- ROME
04 -- MADRID (Part One)
05 -- PARIS (Part Two)
06 -- LISBON
07 -- MADRID (Part Two)
09 -- PARIS (Part Three)
10 -- LONDON (Part Two)
the photos in this series were taken by myself, except for those taken by laine, which are noted.
ROME
honestly, i didn't like rome. beneath the charmingly chaotic veneer, past the racing scooters and italians who so fabulously don't give a shit, it feels deeply irrelevant. rome has suffocated under the weight of its own history; rather than confronting it, the romans have simply abandoned it for the tourists.
maybe i'm being a bit harsh, but the city simply didn't give me a good feeling. it's not somewhere i would go back. that said, it's terribly photogenic, so i managed to amass a few photos despite the intense heat and humidity (made unbearable by the general lack of air conditioning in shops and restaurants).
i must admit, though, that the charm of nighttime strolls through trastevere and along the river almost redeemed the city. almost.
