The Rome Report

We returned from our Christmas holiday in Rome (St. Peter's Basilica pictured) last night, and we're still playing catch-up, restocking the pantry, reading the mail and doing the laundry. Despite some so-so weather (though we thankfully missed the blizzards spanking most of Europe and northern Italy), we had a blast, and Rome really is a great city with so much to see and do no matter where your interests lie, be it art, architecture, history, food or general people watching. While the Paris photos from October still need to be posted (getting close), there were more -- a LOT more-- Rome shots that need to be sorted, edited, cleaned up, etc. Suffice it to say it was a fine time, and we couldn't complain too much about Christmas day either-- 60 degrees and sunny! More impressions and photos coming soon, but for now, it's good to be back in dreary, grey Germany. OK, maybe not, but we're giving our wallets a rest-- for all its positives, Rome was pretty expensive!
