The new adventure

The cab driver took me for a nice ride through Rome this morning although my new hotel is in walking distance from the old one. Once I arrived I was told I had been upgraded to a suite. Not quite sure which celebrity they thought they had on hand. Listen folks this is what it looks like: I am on the fifth floor with two large windows having a beautiful view. The curtains are controlled from my bed by remote. I have a large flat screen TV on the wall. There is a walk in closet. There was a huge fruit platter as a welcome gift. One floor above me is the rooftop terrace. A view to kill over all of Rome. A cup of capuchino costs however 6.50 Euro, that is about ten bucks. Next door is the German church of Rome. All announcement are in Italiano and German. I know you are all laughing by now. I did, too. Confession is in German and in Italiano. Tonight I went over there for the Rosary - in German of course. I visited two more churches on the Piazza de Navone and discovered another church further down on my road this afternoon. Tomorrow I will take the camera. The art in the German church is better than in the Vatican and that is the truth. I do not know who the painter was but the pictures just grab you. The colors are intense. Very beautiful. The music started this afternoon on the Piazza de Navone. I could hear it at my room. American pop tunes. This morning they laying were more cables. I am eating in tonight. Went back to our old grocery store - I have not found anything better and I get some excercise. Could someone let me know how Mary Katherine is doing? Melissa you are sorely missed. Bob just is not all that much fun by himself. I will keep all of the Ponzio group in my prayers. It is 6:15 p.m. now and you should be landing or have landed back home. Oh yes, the Internet is free here and there is a printer attached and the keyboard works, too.
