Italy was fabulous – the stomach bug and cold I brought back with me, not so much. But the trip itself was amazing – I really loved Rome!
I managed to combine the job search with the trip – the first night we were there, I had back to back interviews. I was proud of myself for how I did in the interviews given that I don’t always think I interview well. After they were done, I knew I had said and done everything I could to land the role. I got a message over the weekend that they went with a strong internal candidate so I did not get the job – but they will keep me in mind for backfill for the person being promoted. So that’s something!
But back to the trip. Rome is amazing. Don’t get me wrong – Venice and Florence were too, but I liked Rome best of our stops. We packed a lot in there – in one day we did a tour of the Colusseum/Forum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain AND the Spanish Steps. That day I had nearly 20,000 steps on my Apple Watch! We also did most of one day at the Vatican – if you go to Italy, it’s a must!
I’m way behind with networking and personal chores so I need to jump but here’s some pictures from Rome!
