When in Rome ...

Since I am not getting a scooter, I won't do what a lot of Romans do. I won't get one just so I can ignore red lights completely as I was warned of in my travel guide.

I got into Rome about an hour ago and checked into my hotel for the next four nights. Giusi originally had a friend happy to put me up for my time here, but his mother is ill in the hospital. No problem. I like where I am staying and it is close to connections I'll need to the various places I want to hit ... early in the day.

Each day will have me start early and finish by dark so I can maximize my time here.

As for email questions, Dave, I will mail myself a postcard from the Vatican. Jerre, no I do not have anyone lined up wanting my copy for my post-Olympics trip (unless blog readers want to chip in!) And Marie, I will be rubbing the foot of St. Peter, likely on Friday.

I hope all is well for my blog readers and now I am off to have some dinner.

Ciao!
