There are many ruins here, and I am one of them
13 hours in transit. We finally arrived in Rome and are in a charming flat. It was hell getting here, but we made it. We went on a walking tour this evening with a guide who was just terrific along with a doctor from Liverpool. Tomorrow we tackle the Vatican museums. It's really crowded. There are zillions of tour groups and lots of Americans who are on spring break. Eldest child nearly fell apart a few times, but he knows way more about ancient Rome than either of his parents so he pointed out all the pink granite obelisks the Romans stole from Egypt.
All NBB things were done thanks to the herculean effort of autumnia. snacky has done an amazing job running this thing, so it will be great when everything is done. And heverus says she's doing art for my story, so I'm very happy about all of it, except possibly the story itself. Heh. snitchnipped and I collaborated on art (yes, you read that right, I did VISUALS) so that was fun. Also I saw stone gryphons today. More to come!
I sorta wanted to post some pics with people in them, but I'm still trying to sort out the public/private/fandom thing here.
Edit: my silver lining just got seriously tarnished. This is not a good place for those of us sensitive to noise at night. 11:30 PM, I've been up for the last 36 hours, two Benadryl and I don't think sleep is coming for hours. It was so quiet here during the day. Not at night.
