Date of Shot: 5 May 2019
Location: Rome, Italy
Court: Basketball Playground
I made a shot in Venice, loaded into a train, and many hours later we made it to Rome. After sitting all day, we were eager to get out and move a bit. We initially thought we would have a court just a couple of blocks away from our AirBnB but it turns out a lot of basketball courts in Rome are surrounded by fences and locked, so it took us a bit of a trek to find somewhere public to play.
After some perseverance, we managed to find this hoop, which was decidedly busy. Lots of folks playing pick up games and shooting around. Unfortunately I didn't dress the part, otherwise I would have loved to join them.
Rome was such an adventure. We ate plenty of gelato, drank wine, saw jaw dropping art. So grateful I had a friend who would traipse around the city with me.
It is amazing that this leg of the Count the Makes journey is coming to a close. I have had such a phenomenal time and now all that’s left is to save some turtles on Crete.
NEXT UP: Chania, Greece
