in london, i popped round regents park early doors. i felt like an outsider..no i pod! and having smiled at the first few runners i passed without a response back i decided my friendly northern ways weren't for these city types. crikey the very thought of actually saying 'hi' was totally out of bounds. they'd have called the police!
and so to rome. a magnificient city, steeped in magnificance, emotion and spirit. i felt very chilled there. a world apart from london in every sense. not only is the city beautiful but so too are the people..i felt quite underdressed and lacking any style credentials by comparison.
i took the chance to run and see the city on foot, as much as my non-work time would allow..heres a few of the shots from the phone..some famous landmarks some not so famous..i hope you like them

I worked in london for a while - never agian, i found it a very hostile place, with rude unforgiving people rushing everywhere.
ive never been to rome,would like to go someday though.
andrew - i agree. rome is very different in so many ways
Hi Ultra Collie,
Wow, those are beautiful pictures that you took in Rome!! I am going to Italy sometime within the next year or two and I can't wait:)
What was your favorite part of visiting Rome? Is there anything that you feel is a must see?
I hope that Charlie is doing well:)
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Rome looks cool.
Fine digi-postcards UC, essence of Italia.. look at you,you jetsetting international athlete type. Hope Charlie isn't jealous of all the fun you've been having in the big city..

Julie-think you'll love it. For me the collesium was the highlight (apart from some great bars ;-) )
4winds- made for a nice change
Rb- not sure about the athlete inference mind

I found it the same in London. I used to like offering the cheery 'Good morning' as I went past, just to watch 'em reeling from the shock. Dead jealous of your going to Rome
what a great idea and a brilliant way to see a new city. i fear that i'd get stuck in a coffee shop if i tired to run in rome!
hf - glad it wasnt just me then
kate - reckon you could make up a 'best cafe' route..a shot in each, cake at the last
How ironic is that! CD when we went together to Milan we just lashed the ale!
ptr - you're forgetting the prosseco 'starters'
Also a lover of Rome, a city of great contrasts yet smehow different to nearly everywhere I've been. I can take or leave London.
