The Roman sunrise was at 06:05 and sunset is at 18:29. The Ave Maria is in the 18:45 cycle. It is the 83rd day of the year and my 1st day in Rome, though tomorrow will be the 1st full day.

Get a load of this Church, School, and Convent for sale down in South Shore. $2.5M. Kind of sad to see it on the market, but what a beaut. https://t.co/ULSwCFGI5g pic.twitter.com/CPDpMOOmx4
