*We're here. In Rome, that is. We arrived on June 1. We haven't posted on the blog till now because we don't have home internet access. We signed up for it, but apparently it takes a while, quite a long while, for them to set it up. Till someone comes over to install it, I'm afraid we won't be able to post pictures. In the meantime, we'll just post a few words.
Pasta, pizza, gelato -- how about those words? We've eaten so much of those items lately that they're practically coming out of our ears, but are we tired of them yet? No! Is it even possible to get tired of gelato? I daresay it's not. We'll post more about the many delightful gelaterie of Rome in the future.
We've been checking out some sights. Hard to avoid it when you live in an ancient capital like this one! Every corner you turn, there's some archaeological sight, monument, renaissance church, or festival.
Meanwhile our Italian has actually worsened. Three months ago we gave presentations on newspaper articles in Italian, using the subjunctive and hypothetical phrases. These days, without the 4 hours of daily Italian class we had in DC, we speak mostly English. (Everyone at work speaks English.) Gotta get some more practice. Ciao for now.
