we will be landing in rome on my birthday (september 5th!) and i am still a bit indecisive about our itinerary. i had grand plans to hop on a ferry to sardinia or sicily but it is just too much extra travel for nine nights in italy. i'm feeling a bit like the girl in the first shot. the upside is i know what i want to do - eat, get lost in the coutryside, see a museum or two, eat, drink some aperitifs, swim in the mediterranean, find some leather shoes to replace my old favorites, sleep in, ride a bike along via appia, rent a wooden boat, stand in awe of the beautiful architecture and art, have a chinotto on a fabulous italian terrace, search for vintage treasures, eat some more. what am i missing? i would love any and all suggestions for shops and restaurants!
it is the 50th anniversary of these fantastic, iconic photos of an american in italy (those sandals!) by ruth orkin. read more about the subject and photographer here
these photos also make me think, travelling should feel iconic and inspiring - how can that possibly happen if you are wearing shorts, a baseball cap and a t-shirt? if one is going to go to the trouble of booking a ticket to go somewhere cool or exotic, shouldn't one dress the part?
