Jeanne and the boys have the camera with them. They drove down to Rome with her brother and his wife (Jim & Vero). I will join them on Tuesday night and look forward to some gelato in Bernini's Piazza Navona (shown here), and then lots of pasta for the Easter weekend, including a trip down to Cosenza to see some of Jeanne's Italian cousins. In Rome we stay at the Hotel Tiziano, where Jeanne stayed during her year in Rome when she was a sophomore at St Mary's. I think they still use this hotel for their programme, so maybe we'll bump into some Domers. On the way home we plan stops in Pompei and Pisa.

I took the boys to a fishing show in France on Saturday, where there was lots of cool stuff to oogle. After a nice gastronimc lunch, we went to a local resevoir off the river l'Arve and floated some flies. We lost four nice fish. These were big trout 4-5+ lbs, and we were fishing with only 3 lb leaders, so we left without getting anything into the boat (rowboat). We will have to get some stronger leaders and return for revenge soon!

Standby for some shots from Roma.
