DVD Review: Genesis ? When In Rome 2007
2008-07-05 10:07:00 Who are Genesis? My lovely wife asked. They are prog rockers I explained. She just gave me ‘The Look’. That’s the look she reserves for anything that isn’t country. Genesis are a great band, and have been around for 40 years, formed in 1967 they moved rapidly from Pop to being labeled as Prog Rock. In ...

Then you need to remember the Spirit’s encouragement from Romans 6:12-14. The time may come at some point today when you are strongly tempted by the lusts of your flesh. ...

Rome à vélib'? Roma'n'bike!
2008-06-16 13:21:00 Parisiano-centrisme mis à part, j'ai découvert l'existence de ce service cet après-midi. Autant la faire courte: aucun romain normalement constitué n'irait se risquer à circuler en vélo à Rome... 1: le vélo c'est fatiguant et Rome est "pleine de pentes"2: il n'y a pas de pistes cyclables à Rome3: c'est déjà dangereux en tant que piéton, alors cycliste, vous n'y pensez pas mes amis. J'ai étudié cette station sous toutes les coutures, toisée avec mépris par les gens du quartier qui semblent hostiles à cette fantaisie municipale complètement superflue. J'attire votre attention de non-initiés aux délices de l'espace urbain romano sur les motos et scooters qui ont déjà bien saisi l'intérêt de l'opération: voilà fissa une nouvelle aire de parking, volons allegro les bornes libres, alla romana, tutto bene! L'AFP vous en dit plus sur cette potentielle arme de destruction massive de touristes: "Le maire de Rome Gianni Alemanno inaugurera vendredi ...

Rumble: Airport confusion
2008-06-11 00:01:00 I flew to Brindisi again, this evening. Rome to Brindisi is served by Alitalia ("Always Late In Take-off, Always Late In Arrival") or AirOne ("Air-One, Baggage-Zero"). This evening, I was booked on AirOne (and no, I did not risk to check any baggage in, otherwise I had 75% chance to spend the next day speaking to the lady at the lost luggage counter).A bus was taking us from the terminal to the plane at Fiumicion airport. The bus zigzagged in-between parked planes, stopping here, and stopping there, until it parked itself next to an empty AirOne plane. Driver got out, talked to some guy next to the plane, who pointed to a Blu-Express plane a bit further on the tarmac. The driver was lost, did not know which plane to drive us to.The bus drove to the Blu-Express plane. The passengers got off but were confused. "We were supposed to fly AirOne, not Blu-Express. Blu-Express does not fly to Brindisi", they mumbled. Some went up the stairs, came back down, and finally we boarded after it w...
Rumble: Kalidasa, a walk and flowers.
2008-06-08 22:08:00 My apartment is part of a several two story houses, clustered together. All apartments are on the first floor, and underneath, there are several small shops.As of 6:30 am, I hear Laura, my neighbour, opening the coffee bar downstairs. By 7 am, Valentina opens up her newspaper shop, followed by Theresa and her dry cleaning shop half an hour later. Around 11, Antonio and his family open up the restaurant.For miles around, there are no other shops nor restaurants, so come winter, come summer, come rain, hail or sun, the community congregates around this small area, from early morning to late in the evening.There is always laughter from children playing in the street, chatter from the people sitting on the terrace, greeting the passers-by "Ciao, caro!" "Come stai, bella?"..This afternoon, I was sitting on my terrace, reading in the sun, engulfed by the background chit-chattering, kids laughter and the scent of the flowers blooming all around. I went for a gelato, and walked up to the be...
Rumble: No fish today: Italian fishermen on strike.
2008-06-07 19:59:00 Often, in weekends, I stroll along the port of Fiumicino near Rome, a base for the local fishermen. Today, there was something different: there was no activity by the fishing trawlers, they were on strike.Banners on the boat said in English (and strangely enough, also in Arabic): "High Fuel Prices Kill the Fishery", "High Fuel, On Strike" and "Fuel Prices Kill Us. Only Imported Fish Today."More posts on The Road about Rome.

Piccola Maison in Rome
2008-06-06 08:20:00 Do you have visited the splendid Italy? If not, I suggest you to go there for an holiday period and visit Rome, the ancient Italian capital (it was founded in the 753 BC), a city full of splendid and stunning monuments but also with a great nightlife, splendid people food (the Italian food is one of the best in the world and the one preferred by me!). Making a list of what you can see in Rome is practically impossible: thousand years of history means hundreds of spectacular monuments like the Colosseum, Castel San'Angelo,the Spanish steps, Saint Peter's plaza (in the Vatican city), Santa Maria Maggiore, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and so on. What you need is time to visit the city, and an hotel located in the heart of the historical center is fundamental. If you are searching also for elegance and a refined ambiance, one of the best Luxury Inn in Rome with convenient prices i can suggest you is surely the Piccola Maison, located at the nest of Via dei Cappuccini and Via Vene...

From the Church of Rome to the Family of God
2008-06-02 06:01:00 I was raised in the Roman Catholic church in an all catholic town in Northern Maine. My father was an alcoholic and my mother a devout catholic. I was also a devout catholic and was even taught catechism in the CCD program. I married my high school sweetheart in 1974 and moved to the Northern Virginia area.After six years of a failed marriage, knowing I could not get divorced (remember, this was the 70's and divorce was still frowned on by the catholic church), I decided that suicide was the only answer. I was "in love" with someone else who did not even know that I existed and life seemed too much to bear!My best friend from Maine came to visit Virginia during her vacation. She had become this "born again" Christian and I had warned her not to "preach to me." However, the Lord had quite different plans for me. During her visit, we discussed the "end times." I had a great interest in Nostradamus and the future. I was so afraid to go through the horrible times that these so-called p...

Rome tip: Michelangelo for free!
2008-05-22 16:45:00 During his time in Rome, Michelangelo charged the ancient city with works of incredible beauty. His sculptures, frescoes, and architecture still inspire a city-wide love affair. And, his priceless work is on view at no cost to modern admirers. Angela K. Nickerson, author of A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome, takes us on a very cheapo-friendly tour of Michelangelo’s Rome. The Sistine Chapel: (Viale del Vaticano, at the Vatican Museums)  The Sistine Chapel, the ceiling of which is known as Michelangelo’s lifetime achievement, is free and open to the public on the last Sunday of each month. As Goethe once wrote, “Until you have seen the Sistine Chapel, you have no adequate conception of what man is capable of accomplishing.” St. Peter’s Basilica: (Vatican City) Michelangelo’s Rome ‘Pieta’, the piece that cemented the 24-year-old’s reputation as a gifted sculptor, occupies a chapel just inside the church’s entra...

Rome Q&A: The best neighborhood for “real†Roman cuisine?
2008-05-01 19:05:00 A reader asks: “Do you have any advice for inexpensive, authentic Roman restaurants in the center of town?” Annie Shapiro responds: Here’s the bad news: Rome is a gaping hell mouth of overpriced restaurants aimed at the hungry, innocent traveler. The good news is that real Roman cuisine is actually a cucina povera, or poor man’s fare—a savory waste-not want-not approach to Italian cooking that utilizes the plant and animal parts you weren’t expecting. It’s hearty and filling, and like Southern soul food in the US, it’s tastiest at its cheapest… even in the center of town. Near Piazza Navona, Da Francesco (Piazza del Fico, 29), Da Tonino (Via del Governo Vecchio,18 ), and just Alfredo e Ada (Via dei Banchi Nuovi, 14) offer no nonsense trattoria style dining that shouldn’t run you over €15 a person (including wine!) In Trastevere, Da Augusto (Piazza de’ Renzi, 15) is the bonafide classic. From Campo de’ Fiori, follow the scent of deep frying to Filet...
