I'm mostly livid that they actually boarded this plane knowing full well they will time out or whatever.
This was a massive plane too. Big international type beast.
I'm surprised there weren't riots

Random encounter - ran into another attorney I know well from chicago behind the capitoline museum (my favorite view of rome). this after my wife ran into a former colleague in positano last week. which was two days after I ran into an old college buddy near piazza del popolo last week. Such a big, but small, world.
that's awesome man!
you are a mega-pro

yeah, between this and what we called the zodiac on monte mario (named after an old italian club), you won't get better view. it's funny, but no one goes there besides the locals; you virtually have it to yourself.
just hit up gianicolo
there is a little pop up bar on top right now
nice little spot for a peroni
