Rome Trip - The Start

We went to Rome for four nights beginning on December 31, 2009. It was one of the best vacations I have ever taken.

As you can tell from the ground in this picture, Rome was a bit rainy at times, and it was chilly. It meant, though, that there weren't huge crowds.

This is the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, near our hotel in the center of Rome, near the main train station. We saw this on our first morning in Rome. Not a bad way to start the vacation!

On-goings in January 2010

First up, Happy New Year, you all! Here's what's been going on in my life:

- We went to Rome around the New Year holiday. I'll post some pictures of our trip later.
- Forget the Crimson Tide, even though they just won the championship. I just don't feel it anymore. I'm hoping Hawaii gets there one day.
- Things are going so well at my school that they are lobbying for me to come back next year. (It's the Board of Education's choice, and they give me one-year contracts.)

By the way, if you tried to contact me on Facebook, I'm sorry... I don't feel that anymore, either. You can always leave a comment on my blog, though. My blog entries will show up on Facebook... for the time being.
