It doesn't seem like a lot, but we keep busy. After dinner is usually always hw, then cards and socializing, so the time I was using for blogging is occupied with making friends. I'm hoping to get in a routine, so if I can take 10 minutes to post daily, instead of 2 hours to post once a week, everyone wins. We'll see how this goes. In the meantime, some random photos I've acquired in our expeditions:
 |
| I still have no idea what he's looking at |

| If you ever take up sculpting, never make it boring |
The tomb paintings remind me of what we've seen in Egypt.
ReplyDeleteI think the creature on the mantle must be watching for a mouse or something else edible.
Is the first photo of distant Rome? I can tell you're in a different area than this summer.
In the last photo, was the lower level excavated from beneath the road above or is it not ancient at all?
Nice to hear from you, Tom. Hope you can get into a routine that will enable you to post now and then. We enjoy your blog and appreciate being included in your adventures! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is on top of the Villa Aurelia, near the summit of the Janiculum hill, a mansion that is now rented out by the American Academy. The last one is kind of misleading, in that it's a nymphaium (temple of the Nymphs) which was at a different museum in Rome. I don't know if they excavated it, or if the owners of the land of the museum have had it preserved for generations.
