I’m at Philadelphia Airport (USA) – http://bkite.com/01JZu #
SO beat. And comedian security guy was sending US and non-US citizens to wrong lines. That’s real funny after 10 hr flight. #
Ha! Guessing I typofied Leonardo before we left given commentary from @msherr @timgiron and others. I was low on smart asses this trip! 🙂 #
Phoenix… I missed ya, you overly hot little town! #
I’m at Gilbert, AZ, USA – http://bkite.com/01KeD #
Lovin’ that jetlag. Did not miss all the US political stuff, even though it came up plenty on trip. Whole world watching. #
rt: @evo_terra sayeth #evfn (East Valley Friday Nights). LOCATION: Churchillls in Chandler – http://snipurl.com/41pa0 #

OH: "Hitler gave unifying everyone a good shot, not that I’m down with his ideas or anything" (Penn St student at bar in Rome) #
No writing done this evening due to the dumbest person I’ve ever met at next table. Think Colosseum should be rebuilt as soccer stadium. #
Last big sites today – National Museum and Trevi Fountain. Then packing and a farewell pizza. #
WHOA! Wifey just woke up and her hair looks like a bomb went off in one of those hedges sculpted to look like an animal! #
Mmph… Can’t web check in for flights in Rome. It’s so quaint, but will make for added fun tomorrow. #
Finishing last glass of wine, then crashing. Up at 5am for long jaunt home. Amazing, amazing trip. #

Waiting for first cappucino and getting ready to head to Borghese Gallery for some art. #
Back at hotel, resting a bit before attacking tasty pizza place. #
Went to definitely the creepiest thing we’ve seen in Rome so far – bones of 4000 monks on display http://tinyurl.com/3qtxo7 #
just had some of the best pizza in our entrie lives. So.. full… #

I’m at Colosseum, Rome (Roma, Latium, IT) – http://bkite.com/01I96 #
Sitting under a tree on Palatine Hill near the home of Augustus, snacking on olives, grapes, and cheese. #
98 steps in our hotel to our room. No elevator. Funny on 1st day of trip, less amusing on 5th. #
Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill were amazing. Have history overload. At least I’m still resisting urge to don skirt and fight lions. #
Planning our dinner and what to do with this wine we keep stumbling across. This place is ROUGH. #
Really hoping there is still a country to come back to after this vacation. Scary stuff. #
US elections and bailout are even a regular topic in Italy. No esape from it. Most here seem to favor Obama by quite a bit. #
