The first half of this is lovely! I sure miss this! I think the counter culture shock may be more difficult than the initial culture shock I had in Rome at times haha

taurus no more-us! (ha ha sorry for that...)
So I don’t know all the facts, but according to this, I am not actually a Taurus, but an Aries. Gasp, I’ve been living a lie! ! ! I don’t know much about the whole thing, but I do know it sounds like I’ve wasted countless moments of my youth checking out the wrong horoscope in the newspaper and in trashy magazines.

It is interesting to see what cultural trends and events in the news remain memorable, or seem to become deeper ingrained in our history. Entire television programs dedicate themselves to this retrospection (thank you VH1!). It will also be...

Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini
“What you are now, we once were. What we are now, you shall be.”
One of the wildest things I saw in Rome were the crypts of the Capuchin monks at Santa Maria, located right up the hill from Piazza Barberini. The crypts are composed of the bones of about 4,000 monks, which decorate various small rooms in amazing and elaborate patterns. One room features the skulls of the friars...
