Let’s continue for today with sunrise and sunset in Rome, which respectively are 5:32 and 20:47.
Today, however, the Ave Maria cycle for the Curial ringing of the Ave Maria Bell has shifted into the 21:15 cycle.
But you all know what time it should ring according to the actual setting of the sun.
Don’t you.
And if you don’t, there’s the great APP.

Father, either these problems are easy, or I am getting my old skills back after decades of not playing. :)
As one who loves Chinese more than the rest of my family (for the most part), I love finding good Asian haunts to frequent. For those times I travel, I seek them out. Father, can you share the name of this delicacy-driven restaurant in case I’m ever in Brooklyn again? Although with Mamdani, the likelihood has dropped some to e honest. My grandmother grew up in Brooklyn (great pizza!) and my Civil war veteran great grandfather helped build the Brooklyn bridge.
I salivate every time I see your food pictures – it is like I’m reading a gourmet blog!
