A mere sixty-odd inquiries as to where I am headed and who packed my bag and I have made it from Israel to Italy. (I don't begrudge the Israelis their airport security - all the startlingly young folks that searched and questioned me were very polite and you don't have to take your shoes off and run them through the x-ray machine). Three days in Rome was just enough visit the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi fountain, and innumerable "Palazzos" (Palazzi?). Not to mention restaurants. I don't feel the need to visit again, but if I ended up there a few days, I wouldn't mind.
Caught an "Alto Velocito" train to Florence, home to me (until my flight to Barcelona) and to more Renaissance art and architecture than you could wave a 6€ panini at. Certainly less bustling than Rome, Florence (at least the areas I've visited in the last ten hours) seems to be a very pleasant and livable city. And (mercifully) the churches don't start the bell ringing until 9am.
I'll post some photos when I find a less secure computer. Cheers!
