Finally everybody is here!

Finally everybody has arrived at the Princess Hotel, all healthy (but tired) and accounted for. Two groups on four flights, all re-united at 10PM for a quick meal, talk & then bed. No lost luggage, no convertible airplanes!

Tomorrow is our first big day - a walking guided tour of ancient Rome, including the popular Colosseum. The weather is a mild 70 or so and maybe 60% humidity, and the forecast is clear and sunny. Hope you remembered to put some sunblock in your kid's bag! Believe it or not, the weather is warm enough to make gelato a welcome treat (but hopefully not too frequent, at least for myself).

This message must be short. Believe it or not, the hotel has no internet access at all and I have found (with the help of an unnamed student) an open wi-fi point next to a brick wall in an alley. Seriously.

So, here's a few pictures from the day…
