It was 6:04 when the sun rose here. I beat it by a few minutes. It was 19:50 when it set. I was by that time home and getting supper together.
The Roman Station is St. John at the Latin Gate.
I did some shopping for small useful things for the apartment, stuff like tape.
I had a desire for caprese tonight. Therefore….
My first mozzarella since I have been back.
Breakfast this morning with The World’s Best Sacristan™.
Which held to supper.
You can tell that it is ARTICHOKE season!
Amazing.
Stopped to visit the vegetable stand and then Pippo the Florist before heading back to my digs and some work on my weekly offering at the other place.
This afternoon I went on a walk that wound up being about 3 miles, along with the 1 mile this morning.
Among other places.
On my to the chess guys at the P.za der Fico.
In chessy news, I didn’t follow Paris yesterday, but I understand there were announcements about the next battle of Freestyle.

[NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.]
Really love the simplicity of mozzarella, basil, and tomato. It’s been years since I was in Rome. Need to take my family again one day; next time attending the TLM on Sundays!
@BW
You can attend the TLM every day at The Parish. There are two daily Masses. It’s what I enjoy most about visiting Rome.
