I consider myself an indecisive person and often have trouble picking favorites. So, when it was announced that the #FriFotos theme of the week was going to be "the best," I knew I would have trouble choosing a photo to share with the community.
I spent some time looking through old photos from my wedding, my first trips abroad... any excursion that was special, or moving for me. I bookmarked about ten of them and then gave up, idly flipping through random images and smirking at memories I thought I had forgotten when I flipped through this one on a Facebook album.
2010, Rome. After a week of traipsing through the city with a sinus infection I lost my traveling companion, grabbed a cappuccino, and sat out staring at the Romans passing through their day. It was a chaotic week full of plane rides and missed connections, over-the-counter medications, and missing cellphone access. I needed a break badly, and fast. And I was so busy thinking about taking a break that I almost didn't recognize that I was taking one.
It was totally nothing. Just an hour bundled up under a sweater, outside of the Spanish Steps, sipping on a cappuccino, but when I look back on my time in Rome, it was the part of my stay that created the tome for the rest of the trip. It was the best.
