Europe Trip Plan

The plan for the trip in april 2009 is to spend a month in Rome, a month in Tuscany and 2 months in Sweden. It is a research trip for my husband and fun for me.

The excitement of this week is that I have booked our appartment in Rome see main picture. I fell in love with this church and its tiny square on our last trip 2 years ago. It is in the largo dei librari which means "the square of the booksellers", not the square of the librarians unfortunately- but it is still a sign! If you want to know more about the 11th century Church and you like murder mysteries you could read "the Raphael Affair" by Ian Pears. See this is a work blog after all!

My first blog
