2. i love the trees along the tiber. especially in fall. the tiber itself is beautiful to me. it isn't very clean looking and i probably wouldn't want to swim in it (!), but there is something mysterious and wonderful about it. i like to imagine what life was like, before those trees, and before the walls, when the people of rome would walk to the river to plant their gardens.
i love to walk that river, crunching the leaves beneath my shoes...and watching the changing light.
