Rome

We're due back today in Rome, where I spent two of the pleasantest summers of my life, and believe me, it is not all that hard to ignore the weather. We've got dibs for a week in an apartment -just west of the Campo de'Fiori, home of some of the best melons I ever tasted, and not that-all far from the Piazza Navona which has to be the most lovely public space on the planet.
