In the land of carbs, carbs and more carbs the best place to get veggies and fruit is at home!
Three childhood friends, now adults, live their lives in separate corners of a vast country. One lives in the Northeast. One lives in the Northwest. One lives in the South. It's been two years since these three girls last stood in the same room. However, Luck would have it to let them reunite in Rome. =)
J and I have line-dried our last load of laundry! I am so looking forward to wearing some soft machine-dried and softner-treated clothing! #1 on our shopping list for when we get back is a Costco-sized box of Bounce!

This is what happens when everyone has a digital camera and film is free.
Wow! It's hard to believe that J and I are now down to single digit days left on our RTW trip!

I was completely mesmerized with the ceilings of the Vatican Museum. So much so, that I managed to miss the main subjects of The Map Room (6) - the maps on the walls!
I was in slight disbelief when J told me that (5) is a painting on the ceiling.
After 7 consecutive weeks of eating only Chinese/Taiwanese food, neither J nor I have any desire to seek out Chinese food while we're here in Rome (a complete change in our habits compared to pre-China). Instead, we may be going strictly Italian for the next three weeks. One of the Italian specialties that I plan to have as much as I can here is prosciutto crudo (cured ham). It's so good I can eat it everyday!
Today's intake of prosciutto was delivered via a home-made salad of mixed greens, arugula, tomato, crumbled parmigiano reggiano cheese dressed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was yuuuuuummy!!!
