Render unto Caesar...

WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION:

Kate: Edited, blogged, played Katamari, formed a weekly UNO tournament, hung out with my cats.

Paul: Drank water, studied water, wrote a 350-page report on water, worked water-filled 80-hour weeks.

FF: Studied in Rome, fostered jealousy among friends who don't get a three-month summer vacation, took lots of photos.

Briefly talked to Abs this morning. Sounds like she's having a good time in Rome, soaking up lots of smartiness and all. I would highly recommend checking out her photo album while she's gone. She told me she's a couple days behind on uploading photos. She went to the necropolis Tuesday and will be traveling to Florence this Saturday.

Check out the Day 1 album for her photos of the Pope, along with some great shots in and around the Borghese Gardens -- some beautiful stuff ... even if you're not crazy about history. I really dig the fountain in the photo above. If you don't know what caryatids are, you can read this Wiki article for information.

Maaan, I want to be in Rome! I am so living vicariously.
