Rome, Italy
Originally uploaded by SaurabhA.
This was our first trip together to Europe and we had a fantastic time. It was definitely a busy trip since we went to London, Rome, Florence and Paris all in the matter of two weeks, but we had a great time. The biggest event from this trip is the fact that we got engaged in Rome (in Piazza Navona, to be specific). It is also the trip when we fell in love with Italy: the art, the food, the people and the history.
Ironically, it was the trip to Paris that would also provide a defining moment for us. It was the first time that I visited the Business Objects offices in Paris. Little did I know at the time that we would move back to Paris just a short year later (in fact, we arrived back in Paris exactly one year later (almost to the day) .
