Such a good account, the vagabond referred to, well it seems they were mostly destitute and homeless except possibly for the one with the Spanish girl friend. However anything about Italy is interesting, such an interesting country. As you say the churches are beautiful especially the inside of the one shown, never seen a pleasent etc church interior. Sad you lost your father's watch, originally from your grandfather, of such sentimental value. I've lost two watches unexpectedly coming off my wrist I have not heard of Elizabeth Gilbert but your accounts are obviously just as good. I'm intrigued by the account of the Great Wind of 1839 and that house seems dangerously near the sea! Yes, I too often wonder how the storms are named. Now I didn't know the snow of Febuary 1947 cost so many lives here in Ireland. The recent storm Eowan or whatever she was called was said to bbthe second strongest since 1839 especially in the West. To return to Italy Tresrare looks, Italian food is usually good you did not seem to come off so well with it
I suppose I was not very interested in food back then but this time, when we were in Rome, I certainly was. Still didn’t bother with Tonarello^s in Trastevere
Thank you Sean. Yes, I wish I had not lost that watch. Storm Eowyn was nowhere near as severe as the 1839 storm. . 20 to 25% of houses in north Dublin were damaged or destroyed, and 42 ships were wrecked. The storm attained a very low barometric pressure of 918–922 hPa (27.1–27.2 inHg)and tracked eastwards to the north of Ireland, with gusts of over 100 knots (185 km/h; 115 mph) before moving across the north of England to continental Europe, where it eventually dissipated. At the time, it was the worst storm to hit Ireland for 300 years. Liverpool also suffered severely, with many shipwrecks and much structural damages
What a journey, through what sounds like a Roman underworld or Lethe, whisps of memory defying moments, am glad you left for Amsterdam before long, maybe she did you a favour?
In Greek mythology the Lethe is a river in the Underworld, whose waters cause drinkers to forget their past lives, and also the personification of forgetfulness and oblivion. So perhaps there was a bit of that going on!!?
Verify email what's this. Anyway enjoyed Rome 2

What is Lethe_ ? Intriguing. Maybe she did me a favour, yes+ ! My aunt thought I was bananas when I landed up in huizen.
