Rome-ing

Kevin--Have spent the last few days wearing our feet to bloody stumps on the seven hills of what I have come to think of as "Roam." I think of it as a city composed of equal parts historical debris, high end shopping, churches (hundreds of churches), unbelievably cheap and delicious restaurants--and all of these elements are covered with a thick layer of graffiti, the 20th century's gift to the grandeur that we call the eternal city.

Of course, visiting all those churches doesn't just broaden one's cultural background--it outs money in the bank of God. The dividends in our case were respite from the rain that often threatened our sightseeing plans but then miraculously would stop. Thanks baby Jesus!

Coming soon...the Vatican as seen through the eyes of two lapsed catholics and two heathens. Maybe some food descriptions too!
