ROME 23/04 – Day 11: Moving day

The sun rose, and I sometime later, at 635 and it will set, and I sometime after, at 1948.  The 2000 cycle holds for the Ave Maria.

It is Tuesday in the Octave of Easter and the Station is St. Paul’s outside-the-walls.   We celebrate St. Gemma Galgani today, a great saint.

Today I left my temporary digs, useful for Holy Week purposes and with the Chicagoans who have departed and have transferred to the Roman Sojourn Apartment.

I started making my first rounds of collecting things for the place, but a sandwich was necessary.

And a suppli.

I went to my usual veg stand in the Campo.  The PEAS have come in and they are magnificent.  Soooo sweet.

Perhaps more later.   This afternoon I have been getting all the tech set up, bags unpacked, lists made of what to purchase… food stuffs, cleaning things, items someone broke in the meantime, etc.

I may curl up for a power nap before I hit the cobbles again.

Right now my plan for supper is caprese with mozzarella from my most dependable place.  Shall I make something warm, too?   Who knows?

Meanwhile, Ian Nepomniachtchi defeated Ding Liren in game 2.  Tomorrow is game 3.
