Do you realize these guys are expected to protect the Pope? If you wanted serious protection
Hey, where’ve you all gone? What happen to the zippy repartee’? Where’s all the great advice? Don’t you want to know if I’ve finally gotten to San Andrea Delle Quirinale? Well, I did and more. Went to Orvieto and saw Signorelle’s “Last Judgement”. It cost me four euros to see it. I don’t believe Signorelle slept one minute while he painted that.
I never saw devils so fiendishly and energetically going about their work. Actually they were downright enthusiastic.
I little devil relief. Take a close look at this. This is the first bikini. Circa 100BC. I never noticed if there was a bottom.
I don't think so.
I can’t decide if I can’t wait to come home or if I need another few weeks to understand the Romans.
There are moments when I feel I’ve made a real connection and other times when I absolutely know that I’d die if I knew what they were really thinking.
They’re generally pretty nice if they’re trying to sell you something. That's mean and unkind and I promised myself I'd learn to be nicer. So far it's not working. In truth you must love the Romans because they have the great good sense to live in a wonderful place filled with great stuff.
Here’s a quick list:
Caravaggio
Raphael
Filipino LIppi
Bernini,
Borromini
Michaelangelo
Fab boots
Cool costume jewelry
One euro transporation
Vino, vino, vino
Gorgonzola dolce
Farneses, Borheses, Phamphilis Roveres
Trams, metro and ferroverie
Gorgeous men
Gorgeous men
Gorgeous men
Oh, and have I mentioned…. Gorgeous men?
And for you out there who would like to comment on how smashingly funny I am, don’t bother, I’ve been told.
Here are some of my photos and the things I’ve been seeing.
Later,
Emelia

Can't wait to see you. It seems like you have assimilated so well.I bet you even understand more Italian than you ever imagined. Your blog is amazing, interesting and the high point of my day, often.
I am so happy that you are begging for comments. Now I feel safe to leave one of my own- now that all of the funny people are gone. Let's face it- you forgot to give me the zippy repartee gene- you gave that to Ron and Justine. To me you gave the "wierd spirituality that people make fun of" gene. Thanks for that. Regardless- come on- the pope is no dummy. Could you shoot at a person being protected by a CLOWN?? Of course not.
Hope you're enjoying your last few days in Bella Italia. Looking forward to hearing all about the adventures that didn't make it into your blog.
Safe travels home.
