And now . . . Newark

Having made it back to the United States, our plane back to Virginia has been delayed for at least two hours.

But, here is the best photo I've seen from the last week, better than any of the many that I've taken. It is of Dad drawing a crowd in his kitchen.

On Judge Becker of the Third Circuit

This memorial of Judge Becker from the Third Circuit is very powerful (even when read during the siesta hour here in Rome).

Went to the Vatican

We went through the museums of the Vatican today, including the Sistine Chapel, then walked to the edge of St. Peter's square. The Pope was there, or so we were told. All we could see was that a bunch of people were at the other end of the piazza doing something.

Leaving Perugia

Tomorrow morning we end our organized tour of Tuscany and Umbria and go back to Rome for some disorganized time there.
