Thank you for your lovely emails!
It is almost midnight here in Rome, Friday. Our trip here was uneventful - a quick ride on a EuroStar train, snow on the north side of the mountains, sunny in Rome and 10 degrees warmer. It's supposed to rain for the rest of our stay. We'll see.
We had to walk quite a ways to find an open internet cafe since the one by our hotel (very well located I might add!) which was supposed to be open until midnight was closed when we went there at 10:40 PM. We had just come from dinner at an Irish pub with our German friends. It was good to see them again, we had not seen Werner since 1998, and Karin in 2003. They have been here since Monday.
My advice to you is to stick with Italian restaurants when in Italy - much better food and way better service.
So I had to face some real world tonight and get logged onto my bank and mortgage sites and pay bills back home since it was PAY DAY. Never in a million years did I think I could handle finances when on the other side of the world...
I have been getting some great emails - these could have been made as "comments" on my blog, but since they weren't I am going to put them here...

We hope to get some more pictures posted on Saturday. We'll be visiting some sites and getting some shopping done since everything is supposed to be closed on Sunday. Our friends leave Monday morning. Not sure what we will do that day ' maybe visit the Sistine Chapel.
Hang in there, have a great weekend, and happy new year! We'll be sitting on a hilltop somewhere, watching fireworks all over the city, drinking the champagne that our friends so thoughtfully brought.
Buona Feste!
Ciao
