Thirty-eight of us went to Rome. We spread out and devoured it. Or vice versa. The tourists have descended upon Rome, I am afraid. I have gone for the last four years and each year it’s more crowded—lots and lots and lots of people. Some weathered the long lines of The Vatican and others bolted. It was hard to escape the heat, but, alas, the heat, this year, was not insufferable.
I met some dreamers midday at the Pantheon and we walked to the Coliseum. A tour leader most lead, I suppose, but I’ll admit our path was not a straight line. We took some interesting narrow streets away from the throngs until we arrived at The Forum. We actually had such a pleasant walk and talk about nothing and everything that our Roman Holiday will be molto buon memorable. These were the students with whom I walked: Paige, Amanda, Skyler, Reina, Jennifer S., Daryl, and Emily. Michael, and Daniel caught up later.
Truly but wryly,
