traumatized in the early morning by a snoring monstrosity (hostels are not always fun), i woke up early and got some decent writing time in before taking off into the healingly beautiful day.... mmm... destination was to be Sant'Ivo, got a tad distracted... beautiful days in Rome are to be treasured, indeed... to the spanish steps, one particularly long street on the way dipped way down and up a hill, imagined we were walking towards the ocean, and it was convincing for a bit... wierd... cool anyway.... spanish steps weren't too special, my comment was on the unfortunate reality that someone has to design steps like these and at some level everyone hates them.... the father-o-Bernini fountain everyone loves at the bottom was closed - shrug. too early for people on a sunday morning anyway.Walked along the Corso and shopping district surrounding, decided maybe it was worth a look later, wandered into the Pantheon again, although we had gotten to see rain falling into the building before (the oculus is still open, they just roped off the raining section), it really came to life with the sun shining in. Hesitant retracing of steps got us to Sant'Ivo just in time for mass. We had agreed to meet up with Randy there, so he took us out to coffee in the blissfully sunny Piazza Farnese....
