If I thought I ate a LOT when AMY was here I must say I have eaten the BEST here with Angel and Eric. Not only did they prepare two wonderful meals in my apartment but we also seemed to find some of the best (local) food in Rome. This includes a new place for the Jewish/Roman Artichokes I so love...
A & E were a lot of fun and they enjoyed exploring on their own; they get the award for mastering key elements of the transit systems (making up to Orvieto one day, then out to the Appia Antica another day (no Archeobus for them!), and finally out to Ostia (beach) and Ostia Antica.
They left his AM and I already miss them (although we had a little "issue" getting them a shuttle to the airport and ended up putting them in a cab) but I take comfort knowing that Kater and Chris arrive Monday AM and we're in for a whirlwind. Doing Laundry and sweeping up the inevitable dust balls which accumulate in the apartment because I have the windows open 24/7.
Classes are going very well; 14 very bright students, but they are different from each other and that has worked well in class discussions. They finish up this coming week (final quiz Monday and the final portion of their projects due Wednesday).
Also had lunch with the Dean and with Aldo at Aldo's home in San Lorenzo out near Station Tibertina last week (I need to go back and explore that neighborhood more) and enjoyed checking in with Aldo.
Three nephews have birthday's this wee: Happy 22nd Birthday to Nick Griffiths, Happy 21st (really?) Birthday to Bob Walter, and Happy 6th Birthday to hip-hip Harry Conran! Miss you all. Love
