The official countdown can now…officially begin! Three weeks until I leave for Rome!

Recent touristy purchases:

  • A map of the city of Rome – in case my Italian phone doesn’t pan out the way I am expecting.
  • An Italian phrasebook – so I can say more than “Vorrei una bottiglia di vino blanco” or “Vorrei pasta alla carbonara.”
  • A big floppy straw hat – well, it’s not so big, but it has enough of a brim to keep my sun-sensitive face protected from the sun.
  • A pair of prescription sunglasses to protect my sun-sensitive eyes from the Roman sun.

This summer, I will be heading to Rome for seven weeks to begin the process of researching my dissertation topic (which I won’t bore everyone by talking about a lot). I thought it might be fun to keep a photo journal for my time in Rome and to keep interested people updated on my whereabouts and activities abroad.

So while this is mainly for me, I share it with you in case you are interested!

I might also periodically be posting to my instagram (my followers will probably be glad to see something other than pictures of my cat) which you can find here: https://instagram.com/charcharolatte
