Photo of the Week – A Beer Goes to Rome

7 June 2012 by 13 Comments

I came to Rome in a barrel.  Ready to see the eternal city.  It was dark all the way.  I was in good company.   Then we felt a tapping sound.  Just twice.  Then it went quiet.  A day later, I felt pulled away.  I saw light!!!  I decided to sit and bask in the light.  Since I was in Rome, I HAD to have my picture taken.  Hope I looked alright after all that travel.  I didn’t feel refreshed but I felt refreshing, if that makes sense.

A glass of beer, a Peroni, in Rome's Campo de Fiore

    Haha I like that you’ve given a voice to the beer. Which do you prefer, Peroni or Moretti?

    Not a huge beer drinker, but I could see myself enjoying that on a hot day in Rome…

    I’ve read this post about four different times now and it still makes me giggle. Your giving the beer a personality is quite creative and with Rome as a backdrop, well, how could I not love it? 🙂

    Hi Raul, You gave this beer, (great photo BTW, simple and crisp), a personality like a kid! Curious and funny. Very cool post!
