Police officers murdered by Micah Xavier Johnson How terrible these shootings that continue in our country. How terrible that the police do, in fact, single out blacks over whites when making arrests. But this is no excuse for killing in cold blood, five men who served our country and whose private feelings about their jobs were unknown to the...

The acrobats up close, about to turn flips and heads in three different piazza. Well, I was flipping through more photos and I just had to put these in even though you all may be a bit bored with the travelogue going on here, but I liked these and it’s yet another look at this fascinating city and as I said, mama is otherwise occupied for a day or so...

Well, mama took this without even ASKING me if I wanted it in my blog instead of a photo of ME to start things off, but here it is and it does sort of start of another little camera tour we took among the sweet scenes of this glorious city.

My friend, Ellie, with her 4th of July flags, and getting ready for the juicy barbeque, no doubt! I hope I can find my way OUT of here in time for our barbeque party! HEY, is Loulou coming or what? She’s WHERE? Ellie, I’m still trying to figure out which end is up. Besides mine, that is. Plus, I am sort of far away from where you live. Ellie:...

“Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time, built this.” Well, tonight mama and papa went out for a little drink at the Pantheon, and there they were–the acrobats from Brazil, jumping and kicking and flipping all over the place and pretending to do kick-boxing and just missing each others’ ears by inches. They are...

Some prepared bites at Ferocci, a snazzy meat market that we try to avoid. Unfortunately, for me! I know, I know, I’m calling this Rome Bites but first I have to mention a wonderful blog for today all about French cats on a really fun site called Southern Fried French. That should appeal to all of you southerners out there, as there seem to be many...
