This was taken in our hotel room in Rome, Italy, in the fall of a very long time ago. It might sound crazy, but we decided to photograph each other in our room this particular evening because it wasn't comfortable to go out at night. Apparently, we were obviously Americans to the young Italian men, and they would follow us, reach out and touch our hair, cat call us, etc. It was a bit shocking and unnerving, and so my friend took this one of many that night. Just a tidbit from a past experience . . .
Father, you protected two naive young ladies in foreign countries on a grand adventure. Thank you is never enough. Thank you for rescuing me, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
