What a fabulous ride!
When you set out to see the world, you don't mess around! So glad you really enjoyed walking on those old Roman roads and soaking in the history on this last stop--love the Pantheon and its oculus. Must say the crowds look formidable, but you handled them like the Jedi and shopping/church maven that you two are (how fab to have a handbag from Rome!). I'm going to miss your musings and photos--it's been lovely traveling with you and your wicked sense of humor. And how very wise to have some kickback days before entering the daze of unreal life again. Thanks for the wild ride!

What a fabulous ride!
The great thing about having a fabulous ride is the unexpected hitchikers you pick up along the way, and we have really enjoyed your company. Sort of weird circumstances have come about to put a full stop at Rome but it is hard to find a better place to say ciao. We are still waiting for your next blog and the match made in heaven of you and your camera and Bolivia.

Inspired Slacker!
Ok, I have been known to hitchhike here on TB and in real life, but I so loved hitching with you. I love Scott's interest in history and Shelley's in churches and art. However, you have inspired me with your quick-blogging ways--I shall change my slacking habits and finally get out some of my love of Bolivia, where I think I met you ever so long ago. Soonish, the Isla del Sol where others visit for a hike, but I spent a couple of weeks. What can I say, I'm slow. I'd love to see a blogget on your life in Sydney--pets and fave spots, etc. It's been great--ciao and hasta pronto!
