PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

20. "The Details" |
Well... to really do the trip justice could take me several hours of writing, which I'm sure you guys would find inordinately onerous. Suffice it to say:Rome is an incredible city, full of energy that seems to resonate from its two and a half millenia history. Great art (I wish I knew more and could appreciate it better)... the sculpture alone (Canova's "Paulina Bonaparte" and Bernini's "Pluto and Proserpine" and "Apollo and Daphne" in the Borghese Gallery, Michelangelo's "Moses", and pretty much all of St. Peter's Basilica) blew me AWAY, but I loved the architecture and paintings as well. Its historical import was also very humbling... for the better part of a thousand years, it was the seat of power in the western world. Its influence on our culture, from Christianity to standard musical terms, made the three days I spent there an utter haze of sensory overload. The Pantheon and Trevi and Piazza Navona... I can go on and on. And seeing John Paul II from about 30 feet was the central moment of my entire trip... seeing a man who is almost without doubt a living saint struck me deeply. Assisi... the perfect counterpoint to Rome: humble, quiet (even among a throng of pilgrims), and ultimately peaceful. It was a shame that we only spent about 24 rain-drenched hours there... but it gives me an excuse to go back. Florence. Uglier and taller than rome (from a height standpoint), it nonetheless yielded more art than I could even understand. Just seeing Michelangelo's David was amazing... but couple that with the yummiest dinner of the nine-day trip, and you have another winner. Venice. Finally, a chance to relax a bit... romantic. And the first substantial music experience of my trip, with its signature accordion/baritone combos. I didn't realize until I got there how much I'd missed hearing music. The bells of the Campanile will be the foundation of my next song. Pompeii... umm... no words, unfortunately. My brain hasn't wrapped itself around what it would be like to dig up a city that had been buried under ash, lava, and hot mud sixteen or seventeen hundred years later. Let alone to be a citizen of said city. And back to Rome for the best Gelatto of the trip. Considering that we were averaging about 1.5 gelatti a day each, that's no small feat. If you're going there soon... just out the East main door of the Rome Termini (central train station) across the street on the South corner. Even in April, though, the tourists only increased in number over the course of our stay there. This is barely scratching the surface, but it will have to do for now. Thanks for the lvoe... *smooshes* and *bumbles* to all y'all. Sliced. 2 Corinthians 4: 7-15

Were you gone? Didn't notice. (there's a *snort* here for those of you who didn't know that a worried Sagebrush PMed Spunky and a few others to find the whereabouts of this vagabond).Where's my pizza? If you've been to visit Rudy's new government site, you may have noticed my new job title, in honor of your nomination so long ago. So much to say, so brain dead. CASH Secretary of Hospitality Handcrafted by RollDdice Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Shameless self-bumpery so that those who haven't already read my "details" report (#20) might do so.
