Roman Christmas Evening Stroll

After a fantastic Christmas Eve dinner, with grandma at the kitchen’s helm, we spent most of Christmas Day recovering and taking it easy. By the late afternoon, we were ready to stretch our legs and got out for our family’s first (to this point) evening walk around the downtown sites of Rome, starting at the Vatican.

After a rainy day, the evening pavement glistened and reflected all the lights of the city, making for a truly magical experience.

It really was a pinch-me type evening, in the sense of being so incredible but also quite typical as far as our usual path for walks around our adopted hometown. It felt so fulfilling to be able to share such an experience with my mom and brother and I’m sure it won’t be something that any of us soon forget.
