    We've got this rooftop patio and all around us is really old shit. Can Recognize the Vittorio Veneto monument in the distance, but identifying the other stuff will have to wait until daylight

    Do you like to say when in Rome? Is that what you like to do?

    Been there a couple times. Family home 90 miles away. It's been there for a several hundred years.

    The Scavi tour at the Vatican is cool. So much to see and do.

    I've been to Rome, Dallas, Texas
    Man, I thought I'd seen it all, oh
    Around the world, searchin' every corner
    Man, I thought I'd hit the wall

    There's a sleepy town as south of the border
    If you go there once, you'll be there twice
    Lots of pretty girls, coming by the dozens
    The white sand sure makes a tan look nice

    We can crash on the beach
    You know I wanna make love in the sea
    We gotta try a little dance, so Cabo Wabo
    It's alright by me

    Come on, let me take you down
    I will show you around
    Let me take you down
    Face down in Cabo kissing the ground

    Walked all around the old town today, getting our Rome legs. Up to the Tiber, over to the Spanish Steps, down to the Campo di fiore. Amazing how crowded it is on a November Friday, can't imagine what it's like in high season. Youngest nearly fell asleep in his dinner (calamari) while wife and I had different kinds of veal. Now relaxing with a nice local chianti that drinks like a cab

    Staying at the Abruzzi? Go across the piazza to Antica Sulumeria. They have porketta that will make you cum in your pants. They had no TVs though. HD or otherwise

    Our place is just up the street from the Abruzzi. We ate at Fortunato this evening, across the street from our front door

    I'm not a fan of Italians

    Mainly because my last name sounds Italian so people ask

    And I try not to hit them

    We did it with three at Hotel Nazionale. Just got two adjoining rooms. Great spot. Three minute walk to the Pantheon.

    Capitoline museums yesterday in the rain, Vatican museums and St. Peter's basilica today. Glommed on to a Chinese tour group leaving the Sistine Chapel so we could use the special entrance to the basilica without having to go outside and stand in line again. No lines anywhere today, huzzah

    There are private tours for the Vatican museum. They are scheduled after the museum closes for the day. Our family took one of these. 17 of us. Had our own guide and our own guard. Abreiviated tour hitting the highlights of the museum. Spending time in the Sistine Chapel alone was fantastic. The guard even allowed us to take a few photos as long as we didn't use the flash.

    Sistine Chapel was pretty crowded, hard to look at the ceiling with so many people around. Guards were pretty aggressive telling people not to take any pictures, but somehow my oldest got a nice panning shot of the ceiling. Amazed he didn't get yelled at, since he was holding his phone above his head as he did it.

    I've had a lot of veal lately

    Does the Cella Lambrusco or Spaghetti-O''s taste any different there vs. Here?
