weekend slowdown

Trying and failing to keep up with the day to day activities. I feel at home here now, enjoy the rituals of lunch and dinner with funny and bright folks. the short term visitors as well as the longer inmates.

toured the churches that face the forum yesterday (was it only yesterday) and then had an amazing permisso to view the temple of Augustus and his forum. Intimate contact with the grand scale of this extraordinarily intimate contact with a long gone but increasingly familiar feeling time. I think we are still living in Rome, not just now but the Roman past. Some photos and a water color.
