All I can say is thank God for TJB! AT least the Italian's know that at least one traveller from the US is capable of seeing their idea of style, and then one upping them, the right way.alness
JANN - Thanks! I call that one "Fruit, with Vegetables." LOL.
Jason - Grazie!
Lango Aurelian - My favorite destination on earth...
DAVID McGRIEVEY - Horrors!
Frl. Irene Palfy - Thank you very much. I did, indeed, have a splendid, restful vacation.
artist george - Oh, I beg to differ: there are some very fine blogs out there! But I do so appreciate the sentiment.
ATCC - And, you know, we were always given super treatment in restaurants and shops, while we sometimes witnessed the very touristy-looking tourists given much lesser service; I won't necessarily condone that kind of preferential treatment, but appearances do count...
Mightee.Maus - That's the best blogger handle I've seen in a long time!
Michael O'Sullivan - Rome never, ever changes, which is why I love it so. 16 years after my first visit, and 20-odd trips since, it almost feels like a recurring, continuation of the same vacation.
Fantastic images of you.
ReplyDeleteYour vacation I bet was fantastic also. The last one is my fav, that statue !!
beyond fabulous!
ReplyDeleteItaly looks nice too.

Jill - Blush!
Debbie - MWAH!
Ptolemy1 - It was just a fluke chance that my friend captured that shot. It is striking, isn't it?
mort salzburger - Thank you! The beginnings of your blog look so tantalizing... why did you stop??
