out of touch
So I've been incredibly out of touch, primarily because I've been working hard, moving around town a lot and anticipating the arrival of the genitori (parents) in a few weeks. YAY!
It looks like I'll be excruciatingly busy for awhile, so I thought I'd post a few pics to let y'all know that I'm still alive, things are still spectacular and that Rome is beautiful even in the late fall.
Hope everyone is well!

View from My bedroom window at sunset...fall
Praeneste, view from Theatre
Praeneste, view of Theatre
Sicily is...
This is gonna take a second to load...
Piazza Armerina: People made out...even in ancient times!!!
Museum at Agrigento...um...what is this guy wearing?!?!?!!?!
With the Fashion so extreme in Agrigento, some chose to take a break :-)
Selinunte, Temple E: Just a temple like any other
The Professor surveying his site
"The antiquity of it all!!!"
It would seem to be a column capitol like any other...
until you put a John in for scale
crawling across the columns...like a monkey in a playground!
"If I push any harder, it might fall!!! Or is the column 30 feet behind me and this is just one of those cheesy pictures
"I don't know, but all this talk about the phallic shapes of ancient architecture makes me want to show off my curves!...
and then eat the art!!!!"
Everyone's just sitting there looking at something...what could possibly be so interesting?...
oh, the view.
the misty mountains of Segesta
doesn't this place just look like it had an oracle or something?
it's like that dancer at the Parthenon, but not...
I freakin love Palermo. (Yeah, that's NOT a parking lot. it's moving traffic.
Can I drive???
Park in Palermo...Cathedral in Background
the Cathedral for real
and some arches
Capella Palatina. Yeah, that's scafolding all over the place. Was I upset? No! cause i got to climb all over it and look at eveything up close!
Monreale Cathedral Cloister.
And the Cathedral
Oh, and there are some mosaics inside
So how does one end such a trip?
1. Cannoli?
Or maybe 2. we should stare at our cuticles like this guy (do you see his hair??)
No, I think you sail into Naples at dawn and watch Vesuvius rise before you. Yeah, that'll do it.
