It's the Eternal City

An American veterinarian who works in Kabul. A German professor of political theory who is on sabbatical in Florence. An Australian bishop who studied in Rome and Boston. These are the people who have made it possible for me to visit my favorite city again.

Why is Rome my favorite city? Art, architecture, ancient ruins, the intersection of religion and politics: what's not to like? My goal for this visit: not to study, just to steep in vita Italiana.

Today I'm laying out all the stuff I'm planning to take. The biggest challenge, I think, is getting the electrics right so I don't fry the laptop or phone.

Recommendations for off the beaten path, off the wall, or off the charts things to do, see, eat, drink, explore, etc. are welcome. I'm leaving the collar at home. :-)
