Rome is a-maaaaaa-zing!! Anyone ever been? It is definitely one of my favorite cities I have ever visited. They say it isn't possible to see the whole city in 3 days but I have come pretty damn close. I have walked around all fo the sites in the center (Pantheon, Piazzas, Trevi fountain, Forum, Colesseum, Barberini, Poppolo, much more) saw the whole Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel (It was everything I had hoped for), went to the top of St Peter's and explored the church, been to a dozen other impressive churches, been to scenic Trastevere twice, visited the Capitoline museums, Borghese Gallery, & Museum d'Arte Moderne, and had plenty of Italian food, caffe, and vino. What I haven't done much is sleep. Oh and I think my feet are going to fall off. But WOW!! - What an amazing city. It totally blows Istanbul away.

Next is possibly a day of rest in Siena if I can get a hold of my friend there (??) and then another hectic few days squeezing in art in Florence.

Both Jiuseppe and LadyGoe will be greeted with a kindly Ciao.

Elizabeth's aunt (opera singer) lives in Rome. They have a huge piece of land with orchards and things like that. They have tons of Vespas too. I guess we're invited to come and stay sometime, so I too shall see it sometime.

(off subject, but I don't know where to stick this)

Endarr: here's a video (without sound) of the container exhibit from last year's Tokyo Designer's Exhibit week. I think you went to check this out, no? yes?
