Veni Vidi Vinci!

And I'm finally back from my long trip to Italy. I can't post every detail, and I'll be thrilled to talk about any details on Facebook, but I thought I should give an overall recap here.

There are several recensions of this travel log. This is the shortest - really just an itinerary. I've left out return trips (I went to the Campo di Fiori, Pantheon, and the Corso most days) and regular events (such as class). Excuse any misspellings - I've Anglicized some things but not others, I'm sure.
