Roma in the summer
Hi family and friends. I am in Rome for work - bell-ISS-ima weather - over 30 degrees each day, not a cloud. The conference was excellent. Here are a few pics of my wanderings in Rome (I decided not to take any photos of the work-bit. A hotel is a hotel is a hotel after all.) 
I discovered the street where it seems the cappuccino was invented.
I also discovered that it takes some skill to take a photo of yourself without looking geeky or weird. I don't have any of that skill. But at least you can see the Spanish Steps.
My favourite place in Rome - the Pantheon. I had dinner here last night - at that old Italian favourite, MacciDonaldi's.
Arrividerci, and Ciao for Niao. May post a few more photos in the next day. Travel to Portugal tomorrow to spend the day at Statistics Portugal in Lisbon.

And some typically Italian sorts having an interchange by the Trevi fountain...
Then there was the location for the Conference Dinner - we got to go right to the top - hard to find a better view than that...
Worst part about the dinner is that I was the only one in jeans.... eek!! I'll know next time.
And just one of the views from the dinner venue..

And another..
And another..
