After too long a pause

First son and then lover having come to visit, I have not been focused on keeping up to date on the blog. Please excuse the gap.

Dmitri was here for a week, we went all over Rome including the Vatican museums and a day trip to Florence.

Then Laurie showed up and we have been to Borghese Gardens, Villa Farnisina, Villa Gulia (both with wonderful frescos, Capitoline museum, and a day trip to Tivoli for the Villa Adriana and Villa d'Esta.
