1. French Market, New Orleans, Louisiana

2. Street art, Lower East Side, New York, New York

3. Storefront, Rome, Italy

4. Ice shove, Port Clinton, Ohio

5. Roman Forum, Rome, Italy

1 - French Market, New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans already has a "Europe" feel, but this sight at the iconic French Market was particularly poignant.

2 - Street art, Lower East Side, New York City

While we were walking to Tompkins Square Park, this street art was too tempting to pass up.

3 - Storefront, Rome, Italy

We passed by this store during one of our (many) "lost" moments, walking the back streets of Rome. This is another reason you should welcome getting lost.

4 - Ice shove, Port Clinton, Ohio

Ice shoves happen when lake currents, wind or temperature changes push ice onto the shore.

5 - Roman Forum, Rome, Italy

Right by the Colosseum, the Roman Forum is as deserving of a morning as its more famous neighbor. Palatine Hill is an ideal place to get sweeping photos of the landscape.
