36 Hours in Rome

 It's rainy and cold in the Midwest, time to do a little armchair traveling and add to the list of not-to-be-missed places for the next time you're in Italy.

I love this six-minute video from last month's New York Times, 36 Hours in Rome.  It's always fun to see places I've been before, but after six or seven visits to the Eternal City I was surprised by all of the new ideas  (like the contemporary art museum designed by the same architect who did our building in Cincinnati!!!  I can't wait.).  There are lots of interviews with native speakers sprinkled throughout the piece and if you close your eyes you'll almost feel like you're really there, especially if you don't read the English subtitles.  How's that listening comprehension coming along?

Buon Viaggio a Tutti.
