Rome

Happy New Year! I'm home from my little jaunt in Roma, and looking back on my pictures, it strikes me how beautiful everything was there. One of my favorite stops was the Villa Farnesina  where our friend and tour guide explained that to the Romans, too much is never enough, decor meant lotsa stuff on stuff as a way to delight the human eye. My kinda place. Gilded ceilings, ornate sculptures, it was all symmetry and mastery... consider my eye overjoyed!
