Italian Caper, Chapter 2


It must have been our trip to the exhibition "Roma e i Barbari" in Venice, because Annie has decided that our next trip will be ... Rome!  (And this time with Louise and Daniel.)

I've already started the homework with a copy of the Blue Guide to Rome.  Not as many pictures as the trusty DK, but more rewarding bed-table reading.  It also gives me a reason to keep up my Italian (I've already bought the bigger dictionary) and make a whole new section on my Netflix queue.  (Go there and search "Rome" and "Roman" and you'll see how it would take a year just to watch all the DVDs!

So now the lists start:  Painters, sculptors and writers.  Museums and churches.  Friends' favorite places.  Music.  Books to read.  Ah, planning the trip!
